"We're going to look into both sets of allegations," said Rob Manfred, baseball's executive vice president of labor relations.
Manfred would not go into details, but MLB already had requested meetings with the two players, a person familiar with the request said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcement was made.
Before last night's game in Phoenix, Ankiel said any drugs he received in 2004 were prescribed by a licensed physician to help him recover from reconstructive elbow surgery.
Ankiel initially acknowledged human growth hormone was among those medications, then refused to list his various prescriptions.
"I'm not going to go into the list of what my doctors have prescribed for me," he said. "I've been through a lot emotionally and physically. There are doctor and patient privileges, and I hope you guys respect those privileges."
After talking to Ankiel, general manager Walt Jocketty said he was satisfied that nothing improper had oc curred.
"Everything was legal," he said. "There was no violation of major league rules. There was no violation of any laws. At this point, if there's anything more to decide, Major League Baseball will look at it and let us know."
Ankiel said he would cooperate with any investigation.
"I'll be happy to help and conduct anything that Major League Baseball wants to talk about it," he said.
Ankiel is a former Cardinals pitching phenom whose career seemingly reached a dead end when he experienced an inexplicable run of wildness in 2004.
Authorities have not accused Ankiel of wrongdoing, the Daily News said. According to the Signature Pharmacy records the News cited, he stopped receiving HGH just before baseball banned it in 2005.
Glaus, in St. Petersburg, Fla., for Toronto's game at Tampa Bay, did not stop when reporters tried to speak with him before batting practice.
