As expected, the Mitchell Report exposed a number of Major League Baseball players as suspected users of performance enhancing drugs. Two of the biggest and somewhat unexpected names were pitchers Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte.

The Mitchell Report, which was authored by former Senator George Mitchell, was meant to uncover the hidden illegal drug culture that has run rampant in the sport of baseball over the last few decades. In the report, over 50 players were named with suspected connections to performance enhancing drugs.

Not surprisingly, Barry Bonds was also named in the report. Bonds, who became baseball’s all-time homerun king during this past season, has steadfastly denied knowingly ingesting steroids, despite the growing mountain of evidence against him.

Other big names mentioned in the Mitchell Report were Gary Sheffield, Jason Giambi, Ken Caminiti, Lenny Dykstra, Miguel Tejada, Chuck Knoblauch and David Justice.

In addition to naming names, the Mitchell Report made a number of suggestions on how Major League Baseball can go about fixing the problem of performance enhancing drugs. Among the suggestions are the use of a third-party drug testing firm and the creation of an anonymous hotline to report suspicious activity.

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig didn’t immediately penalize the players named in the report.
