Kings player claims he didn't lie to jurors
The Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. Chris Webber, who made his first public statement since being indicted on federal charges, said yesterday he did not lie to a grand jury and that he tried to help prosecutors in their case against a University of Michigan booster.
The All-Star forward was
The All-Star forward was licted Monday in Detroit on charges he lied about his dealings with Ed Martin, who admitted lending the NBA star $280,000 while he was still an amateur. Martin also admitted lending money to other Michigan basketball players.
Webber, who led Michigan's "Fab Five" team to two NCAA title games, is in the second year of a $123 million, seven-year contract with the Sacramento Kings.
He was charged with obstruction of justice and making a false declaration before a grand jury, according to the FBI and U.S. attorney's office in Detroit.
"I didn't lie to the grand jury." Webber said in a brief appearance before reporters at Arco Arena.
Webber, who had just finished working out at the Kings' practice facility, said he spoke out because. "I wanted to show my supporters I am not running away from the situation."
Martin pleaded guilty in May to conspiracy to launder money, admitted he took gambling money, combined it with other funds and lent it to several players while they were still amateurs.
Martin, 68, said his payments included $280,000 to Webber; $160,000 to Robert Traylor, now with the New Orleans Hornets; $105,000 to Maurice Taylor, now with the Houston Rockets; and $71,000 to Louis Bullock, who has been playing professionally in Europe.
Former Michigan star Jalen Rose, now with the Chicago Bulls, said in May he took "pocket money" from Martin.
The 29-year-old Webber publicly denied taking significant amounts of money from Martin.
The maximum penalty on each charge Webber faces is five years and a fine of $250,000.
Payments to college players violate NCAA rules. The indictment said Webber, his father and aunt gave false information to the university in its internal investigation and the school forwarded it to the NCAA.
Prosecutors, NCAA spokesman Wally Renfro, Kings spokesman Darren May and Michigan athletic director Bill Martin declined to comment.
his father and his aunt conspired to conceal the cash, checks, clothing, jewelry and other benefits provided to the player and his family by Martin from 1988 to 1993.
Webber's father, Mayce Webber Jr., and his aunt, Charlene Johnson, were indicted on the same charges as Webber. Neither immediately returned messages.
The indictment said Webber
Webber told The Sacramento Bee that he was angered by the indictment of his father and aunt.
("Martin) knew the best way to hurt me was to hurt my family," Webber told the newspaper in a story published yesterday.
Traylor and Bullock admitted to the grand jury they received the loans, said their attorney, Steve Fishman.
Webber, a 6-foot-10, 245 pound forward and four-time AllStar, has averaged 22.1 points and 10.2 rebounds during his nine-year career. He was the first pick in the 1993 draft and was Rookie of the Year with Golden State.
He also starred at Washington before being traded to the Kings. Webber led Sacramento to the Western Conference finals, where the Kings lost in seven games to the eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers.
WASHNGTON — The third-base dugout is gone from the field at RFK Stadium.
The Associated Press
"It's downstairs. In the basement," said Bobby Goldwater, who oversees the ballpark as president of the D.C. Sports and Entertainment Commission.
"The frame for the dugout is literally sitting in what would be left field. It's part of the stands."
D.C. readies for baseball
Coming up with the best way to reassemble the dugout and reconfigure the ballpark is one of Goldwater's pressing projects lately. Now that relocation is a viable topic within major league baseball, he has to come up with a plan to get RFK ready as quickly as possible should the Montreal Expos move to Washington on short notice for the 2003 season.
"We believe it can take about six weeks to get it all done," said Goldwater, outlining the most basic, no-frills scenario.
With the Expos saved from elimination under the new labor agreement, the campaign to return baseball to the nation's capital has its best chance of success in years. Any team that moves to the Washington area would play at least two or three seasons at RFK while a new ballpark is built downtown or in Northern Virginia.
RFK was built for baseball and football in 1961, but it hasn't been the regular home to a baseball team since the expansion Senators became the Texas Rangers after the 1971 season. The NFL's Redskins played at RFK until 1997, and the major tenants currently are the D.C. United and Washington Freedom soccer teams.
The last time the stadium played host to baseball—a pair of exhibition games between the Expos and St. Louis Cardinals three years ago—the configuration had a Spartan, dated feel that was nowhere close to the modern day major league experience.
Goldwater, hired the following year, has heard the mixed reviews.
"Clearly there would have to be some additional amenities and cosmetics to return RFK to a major league baseball park in the 21st century." Goldwater said.
Goldwater has three fix-it-up lists for baseball. The first list contains a number of ongoing improvements that were needed anyway, including more than a million dollars that has been spent in the past two years for a new videoscreen anscoreboard, a new sound system for the lower deck, a fresh coat of paint, better signage and pothole repairs in the parking lot. The ballpark also hired a new concessionaire.
"The second list is things that would absolutely, positively be needed to be done for major league baseball," Goldwater said. "A baseball field has to be created again, including padding around the railing, recreating the outfield fence, backstop, foul poles, anything basic to playing a baseball
game.
The clubhouses would need an upgrade, and, yes, that third-base dugout must be reattached. Approximately 5,000 seats need to be moved out of left field, then moved back again when there's a soccer game.
"That's a challenge," Goldwater said. "All of this will take a lot of planning and coordination."
Goldwater's third list is a "wish list," a to-do agenda that would make RFK a modern, fan-friendly park. Financing would come primarily from the team's owner.
"Can we be ready? Yes," said Winston Bao Lord, executive director of Malek's Washington Baseball Club. "But in terms of the way we can envision RFK, we'd love to have time."
While all the parties involved would like to fix RFK up right, no one will be complaining if baseball gives them late notice. The city has waited too long to be nicky.
"If they told us March 31 we were getting a team, I'd be out there lining the field from home to first base." Lord said.

A contraceptive injection that is given in an anterior cervical wall of the uterus (in the upper or lower part once every 13 weeks) to continue your contraceptive practice.

Because DEFNO PROVOCIA is a long-term birth control method it takes some time after your last visit. DEFNO PROVOCIA is a wear-on device that results from a large study done in the United States for women who stop using DEFNO PROVOCIA or order to cease use after their last injection. Most of those who receive DEFNO PROVOCIA will go about 10 months after their last injection, while others who receive progesterone will go about 12 months and about 18% of those who become pregnant will go about 15 months and about 24%. Progesterone will go about in 18 months and about 36 months of time you use it. In addition, most women who become pregnant will not be pregnant before you stop using it.
