The Mitchell Commission Report Is Available Online
This is from the George Mitchell Commission report on steroids in professional baseball:
“…The minority of players who used such substances were wrong. They violated federal law and baseball policy, and they distorted the fairness of competition by trying to gain an unfair advantage over the majority of players who followed the law and the rules. They – the players who follow the law and the rules – are faced with the painful choice of either being placed at a competitive disadvantage or becoming illegal users themselves. No one should have to make that choice.”

I have read the report and have a real issue with them naming Brain Roberts of the Baltimore Orioles in there. He is the only player listed to have no proof. All they have is his former teammate Larry Bigbie saying that he told him he used roids once.
