The inquiry, in response to a congressional request, amounts to an initial look at facts surrounding the case. It does not mean charges will be brought against the Houston Astros shortstop, who in 2002 was the American League's Most Valuable Player.
Investigators with the FBI's field office in Washington will handle the inquiry, according to an FBI official who spoke today on condition of anonymity because the case is ongoing. It is unclear how long the initial fact-finding will take.
