Good evening. Americas favorite pasttime is about to be rocked. Abc news has learned that Major League Baseball officials have given the Players Union a blacklist, the players it intends to punish for using performanceenhancing drugs. It includes some of the games super stars. Right at the top, Alex Rodriguez of the yankees, the highest paid player in baseball history. Tonight the targeted players are being advised about their rights and their options as the league announced suspensions that will make history and shake the game. Abcs paula faris is here. These suspensions could come right away. Abc news has learned any moment now one of the biggest crack downs in baseball could hit. Today all eyes were on the highest paid player in the games history. Facing a possible lifetime ban, Alex Rodriguez dodged questions as he drove off in his near half Million Dollar car. Moments earlier, continuing his rehab stint at the yankees Training Facility in tampa, hoping to get back on the field this year. But theres a chance he wont return this season, if ever. In what could be the biggest bust in Major League Baseball history, reportedly 20 players have been implicated for using performance enhancing drugs. And getting those drugs from the biogen cyst clinic in florida. Baseball is trying to drop the hammer as hard as it can. Reporter former league mvp ryan braun was the first to fall, accepting a 65 game suspension, but arod at the center. Arguably the biggest star with the biggest salary. That bat, earning him 28 million this season. While Major League Baseball reportedly claims to have enough evidence to impose a lifetime ban, the question now, is will they try to. It would be one of the heaviest penalties since pete rose was banned 24 years ago for betting on his own team. As you can imagine, this is a very sad day. Rodriguez hasnt played since october of last season due to an injury. His fate could rest in the hands of baseball commissioner, bud selig who according to some experts will attempt to take him off the field this season one way or another. Major League Baseball is going to try to ban Alex Rodriguez for life, but if they do, they know theyre going to get an incredible fight with the union. Reporter most of the players involved in this investigation expected to accept their suspensions, but arods legal team has repeatedly said it will appeal. We believe that we have good, solid and strong defenses for alex, and we intend to present them when the time comes. Baseball insiders that i spoke with believe that no one stands to benefit more from a lifetime ban than the yankees. Theyre on the hook to pay rodriguez 100 million, a lot of money for a 38yearold who has undergone multiple hip surgeries and according to experts, george, may not have much of a career left. Everybody scrambling right now. We move now to a revelation today that is sparking outrage. What if every google search, every email, every phone call could be tracked, heard and read by government bureaucrats without a warrant. Today a new leak from fugitive Edward Snowden claims the u. S. Spy agencies have that power. Abcs chief global correspondent reports from washington. Good even. Reporter this was a day the white house was trying to show transparency, declassifying documents about once secret nsa spying. That was immediately trumped by even more revelations of spying and an uncomfortable moment for the head of the National Security agency. While National Security secrets were leaking all over washington, general Keith Alexander was at a las vegas Hackers Convention facing down hecklers. We stand for freedom. Reporter the heckler took issue with that statement but the director fired back, saying congressional investigators have found no illegal activity by the nsa. Thats not bull. Those are facts. Reporter but today brought another blockbuster revelation, a still top secret nsa program leaked by Edward Snowden to a british newspaper that it says allows u. S. Analysts to snoop on, quote, nearly everything a user does on the internet in real time. The guardian story provides a 32page training guide, showing how the so called x key Score Program works, sucking up data from 150 sites around the world that can show phone calls, emails being written, sites being visited, words being searched. Snowden discussed the Surveillance Program when his story erupted last month. I sitting at my desk certainly have the authorities to wire tap anyone. Reporter it was a story that brought vehement denials. I think he was lying. It wouldnt just surprise me, it would shock me. Reporter we spoke to the reporter who broke the story today from brazil. One of the problems with allowing an agency to engage in these extraordinary activities is that theyre able to say whatever it is they want about what theyre doing with no accountability. Reporter today the nsa actually acknowledged this so called x key Score Program, calling it lawful and the head of the House Intelligence Committee said the program does not target americans, george . Now to new trouble for Anthony Weiner, refusing to quit his campaign for mayor of new york despite new and embarrassing outbursts from his team. Today a new move from his wife, a close aid to Hillary Clinton. Abcs Senior National correspondent jim avila has the latest. Reporter Anthony Weiner brushing by reporters this morning, letting his campaign ad speak for him. Quit isnt the way we roll in new york city. Reporter his wedding picture strategically behind him as weiner again vows to stay in. We fight through tough things. We are a tough city. Reporter some of that toughness on embarrassing display from weiners young press aid as she lashed out profanely at a former intern who penned a tell all front page story claiming the weiner campaign is amateurish. The aid, Barbara Morgan firing back, calling the intern a fame hungry expletive, terrible at her job and much worse. Today apologizing on twitter. Not my best day yesterday, should have known better, been better, got to pay up. Is Barbara Morgan still working for you, anthony . You bet. Huma is reportedly taking time off from that job but has not reemerged on the campaign trail. Today the man who ran bill clintons president ial campaign became their cloeest ally to publicly urge weiner to quit. If i were him would i get out, yes. If i was working his campaign i would say i cant take this anymore and resign, yes. Reporter James Carville tells abc news Hillary Clinton feels more personal pain than political damage. I know she doesnt feel good for her friend. Reporter the clintons themselves preferring surrogates to deliver the political hammer. Jim avila, abc news, washington. We go overseas to france. The riviera where it happened again. Another brazen robbery in the glamorous city of cannes, fast becoming the heist capital of the world. 72 hours ago thieves made off with 136 million in diamonds and jewels. Tonight a new target, a new hit just half a mile away. Reporter cannes, home to europes most celebrity packed film festival, is in the midst of a crime wave. Wednesday, two men, one with an automatic pistol, one with a grenade, walked into this highend Jewelry Store and walked out with 40 watches. Its the second heist this week. On sunday, a lone gunman waltzed into this hotel and made off with a whopping 136 million in diamonds. They both happened half a mile apart on the same street, the exclusive promenade de la croisette, and both happened around the same time of day. Cannes is an easy target because they have poor security. The security guards are unarmed. A lot of wealthy people buying high dollar items an easy access to other countries. Reporter former jewel thief larry lawton says if the robbers do it the way he used to do it, the goods are already sold. The piece that came in, whether it was a watch and had a marker on it, would be out of my possession within 24 hours. Reporter the recent crimes have many wondering why havent they beefed up security. Well, the city of cannes normally only has 20 Police Officers on duty during the day. The chief of police is doubling that number tonight. George . No question they had to do that. And it was a headline hard to miss. O. J. Simpson granted parole. Hes been behind bars these past five years serving time for kidnapping and robbery. Todays victory will not set him free. Simpson, 66, will spend four more years on prison on other charges related to his conviction in 2008. In his defense simpson made the case that he is a model prisoner and a mentor to fellow inmates. Now to tonights hidden america where we shine a light on overlooked problems. The death of Cory Monteith drew our attention to that killer drug. What we found was scary and startling. The number of americans using heroin has doubled over the last decade. Byron pitts shows the problem in unlikely places. Living in a lonely world reporter Cory Monteith.

A growing group found mostly in of all places suburbia. Police lieutenant Thomas Dombrowski drove use through Bergen County, new jersey, where a recent spike in heroin deaths sparked concern. Every part of Bergen County is touched in some way shape or form by the heroin epidemic. Reporter 28 overdoses last year, most of the victims under the age of 22. What parents may not know, the gateway drug could already be in their medicine cabinets. It was for 23yearold dylan young. I started using prescription painkillers that my father had and it went from there. Reporter at 13 he was smoking pot and drinking, then stealing those pills from his parents, which led to smoking heroin. Its much, much cheaper than smoking. 30 milt milligram, 30. Oxycot oxycoton, 80. A lot of addicts are missing something. Reporter he ended up in rehab six times. When you are in that situation you usually dont see hope or a life ahead of you. You just see your next fix. Reporter most agree intervention and treatment are key, but there is a bitter irony that goes with rehab. Just like monteith, many heroin addicts die when they start using again right after leaving treatment. Most people come back from rehab and get high for the first time and that high is what kills them. Reporter dylan has been clean for three years. He knows heroin is a dark dead end. More and more young people enter and never leave. Byron pitts, abc news, new york. Good luck to him.

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy theres a growing chance that car up for sale has been flooded. The prices are low but those cars may be too dangerous to drive. Abcs bill weir found some people still willing to sell those cars despite the risk. Reporter just look at em all.
