Hey Rob, they pulled the story pending more verification.

Perhaps someone made a stink?  The list is no longer up as it is being “crosschecked”. 

Any other names you remember?

No surprise that the Yankees are a big bunch of cheaters.

The Debate is over!  Global Whining has been confirmed.

That $30M prorated contract Rocket signed would sure buy a bunch of HGH.

As would the 275 million A-Rod’s due to get.  Wonder if he’s on there too.

“crosschecked”

LOL.. what a joke! It’s not being crosschecked, how much you want to bet it’s lawyers getting involved?
Sheesh.. it’s beginning to be hard to find the fun in sports anymore

Wood and Prior were on the list as well.

The link says some are disputing the list, others are standing by it.

I guess we’ll see.  At this point, Mitchell needs to just release the thing for transparency’s sake.

The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

It’s only the tip of the iceberg.

If you’re going to go after Bonds, you need to eliminate all records that were created by professional baseball at a time when these activities were not illegal.

I just updated the post with the full report via MLB.

A notable addition to the list of players if Miguel Tejada, who interestingly enough was just yesterday traded to the Astros in a major deal.

Either a premature article, or perhaps Senator Mitchell is realizing that the use of “iffy” sources is likely to get him sued from Tacoma to Toledo.

Sorry, but if he’s got good evidence that ballplayers were illegally using steroids, he needs to go to the DA, not the press.  If he’s got evidence that they were legally used, he needs to go to MLB and work there to get monthly testing done for this stuff.  It’s horrendous that he’s going to the press here.

HAH! Told ya so!

Star’s Lawyers Cry Slander

That’s why the list was pulled.

Laurie Bennett over at Muckety.com has an interesting interactive relationship map of many of the players involved in the Mitchell report.

Here is the lede of the story… but you have to see the map to get the “Big Picture”

Two major informants play central roles in the searing report on steroid use in baseball, released yesterday by former Sen. George Mitchell.

Kirk Radomski, a former Mets clubhouse attendant, and Brian McNamee, a former strength trainer for the Yankees and Blue Jays, provided much of the information linking players to drug use. The document named 89 players, including superstars Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Jose Canseco and Jason Giambi.
