The Mitchell Report

What does the Mitchell report do to MLB? What will happen to the players mentioned? Will this finnaly clean up the game, or was there never a problem, and this report is a waste of time. Only time will tell what the outcome will be.

The Mitchell Report is the result of George J. Mitchell’s 21-month investigation into the use of anabolic steroids and human growth hormone in Major League Baseball (MLB). The 409-page report, released on December 13, 2007, covers the history of the use of illegal performance enhancing substances by players and the effectiveness of the MLB drug testing program. Mitchell provides his recommendations regarding the handling of past illegal drug use and future prevention practices. The report names 89 Major League Baseball players who are alleged to have used steroids or drugs.
