Speaking of a conspiracy, I love the bull Red Sox conspiracy going around that only Yankees players were outed, and Mitchell is in with the Sox, etc. Every Yankees fan is bitching about it today and will be for the next year.

You are absolutely correct; this whole thing is a sham. It's a poor attempt to clear baseball's name for this whole steroid fiasco.
MLB paid the law firm to write this report. while the law firm probably isn't perpetrating a fraud here, i'm sure they are complicit in the 'damage control.' After all, MLB probably paid DLA Piper millions for this report, so why wouldn't they be? Also, this report was just a way to appease congress and alleviate pressure of threatened federal restrictions.
Also, outing big name players is not in the best interests of baseball. While i will always be a fan, there are casual fans who may be turned off by hearing a laundry list of all stars implicated. Naming marginal players does little harm because you can make the argument that those players needed it to get to the next level; whereas, the big names didn't need it because they are already there. I don't buy that, but it's a marginally acceptable excuse. |
The two main informants were the Mets clubhouse guy and the Yankees trainer. It's obvious that's why there were so many former Mets and Yankees. As for the bigger players, I'd assume that they have more money to hide their names easier. That doesn't mean they didn't do anything. |

I dont see how they could get away with outing some players, while keeping others' names a secret... seems like there would be too much at risk to pull like that.

Also, did the report mention Sammy Sosa? |
The plot thickens..Apparrently only 30% of the names on the list were released and it's thought that A-Rod was on there...
EDIT..Seems like there is a lot of crap players coming forward and pointing their fingers at good players..Prolly to make themselves feel better about not being as good...
A-Rod's name wasn't even bought up in the report and he was tested 9 times last season and tested negative... |

| Pettitte admits using HGH; clemens denies using HGH and roids. Hmmm...looks like clemens should abandon the Barry Bonds approach. Clemens will get in the hall of fame either way, as will Barry Bonds. The longer he denies it the less people will trust him. What's wrong with these players? |

i missed it, the tv with HBO in my house is the tv that my girl occupies and i only use when she's not home. anyway, whether baseball made it illegal or not is not really important because in this country someone can't take steroids with a valid medical reason. I'm sure "hitting more homeruns" isn't a valid medical reason. So if barry received the roids from a doctor under a prescription, it was not a valid prescription in accordance with the law. Therefore, he is still a cheater.
i always have to laugh when people say that steroids weren't banned in baseball. Ok, well, steroids are banned in the US (without valid medical reasons), and the last time i checked, Federal Law preempts the MLB collective bargaining agreement. Normally, people only get steroids when they have chronic illnesses. Almost no injury you receive while playing sports will allow a person to receive steroids in recovery (as far as i know). |

i don't necessarily disagree, but most of these players weren't getting juice because of injuries. Also, i'm pretty sure the non-athlete population is not getting steroids to recover from most injuries. |
