Names in the Mitchell Report

Names in the Mitchell Report
Friday, December 14, 2007
Thursday's release of the Mitchell Report, which investigated the involvement of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball, had one headline name.

Roger Clemens, the greatest pitcher of his era, led a list of seven of baseball's Most Valuable Players and 31 All-Stars in the report. Indians pitcher Paul Byrd, who admitted to using Human Growth Hormone during the October playoffs, was the only current Indian named in the report.

Doping was widespread by stars as well as scrubs, the report said, putting a question mark if not an asterisk next to baseball records and threatening the integrity of the game itself.
