The Mitchell Report list of the baseball players who too steroids is now out.
Former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell unveiled the findings
of his 20-month investigation into illegal performance-enhancing drugs
in major-league baseball and pointed a direct finger Thursday at a
star-studded list of players, including some former Cubs and White Sox.
Among the allegations are two shocking incidents involving Chicago
players. In one case, Mitchell alleges that former Sox pitcher Scott
Schoeneweis received shipments of steroids at U.S. Cellular Field in
2003 and 2004. In another, former Cubs and Sox pitcher Matt Karchner
testified that he watched two Cubs teammates inject themselves with
steroids in an apartment the three shared and hinted at wide-open
discussion of illegal performance-enhancing drugs on the team.
That’s not all the Mitchell report found out, either:
Major
League Baseball has taken a black eye by being drawn out in the public
eye for allowing steroid, human growth hormones (HGH), and other
performance enhancing substances to take control of the sport and
influence youth sports. The Mitchell Report brings out the worst of the
MLB.
Former players, strength coaches, clubhouse employees, and
subpoenaed individuals were used to compile the report for former
Senate Majority Leader turned Chairman for global law firm DLA Piper,
George Mitchell. The investigation and following Mitchell Report were
issued by MLB Commissioner Bud Selig to help combat the violations of
his sport in 2006.
There’s big names on the Mitchell Report’s list:
Some of the biggest names in American sport
were linked to the illegal use of performance-enhancing drugs following
the publication of the highly anticipated Mitchell Report.
Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Andy Pettitte and Miguel Tejada were
named on Thursday in the report by Senator George Mitchell which
contained the results of a 20-month investigation into the use of drugs
in Major League Baseball.
Former United States Senate majority leader Mitchell was appointed
by baseball commissioner Bud Selig to examine the sport’s involvement
in the use of illegal substances such as steroids and Human Growth
Hormone (HGH).
Mitchell held a news conference on Thursday afternoon to address the
report and discuss the period he referred to as "baseball’s steroids
era".
