Well, well, well: In news that surprises no one except perhaps cry-baby Barry Bonds, former Senator George Mitchell’s investigation into steroid use in Major League Baseball connects several top players to continual anabolic steroid use, including monster players like Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Ken Caminiti, Jose Canseco, Jason Giambi, Juan Gonzalez, Mo Vaughn, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmiero and Miguel Tejada. From the NY Times:
“For more than a decade there has been widespread anabolic steroid use,” Mitchell said in a news conference announcing the results of a 20-month investigation he led at the behest of Major League Baseball. (...) “Each of the 30 clubs had a player or players involved in taking illegal substances (...) Everybody in baseball — commissioners, club officials, the players’ association, players — shares responsbility,” Mitchell said. “I can’t be any clearer than that.”
The report also cited a rising use of human growth hormone and MLB's incredibly slow steps to stop it. Last time I checked, most baseball players didn't have pharmacology degrees, so there's a whole lotta cheating going on.
