Twenty months in the making, former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell's investigation will hone in on allegations that have been raised since sluggers Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa thrilled fans with a record-shattering home run race in 1998. Mitchell's findings are expected to include names of baseball players who Mitchell believes have used steroids. Various media reports speculate that Mitchell will call out between 50 and 80 baseball players. Mitchell embarked on his multimillion-dollar task at the behest of Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, who felt a probe was necessary after reading "Game of Shadows." The book was written by two San Francisco newspaper reporters who chronicled the alleged drug use of home-run king Barry Bonds. "Game of Shadows" is credited by some with prompting congressional hearings in which lawmakers chastised pro baseball for its weak drug-testing policy. Bonds, who faces federal perjury and obstruction charges for allegedly lying in 2003 about his steroid use, swatted 73 home runs in 2001 to top McGwire's 1998 record. Before the McGwire-Sosa race -- which McGwire won with 70 homers to Sosa's 66 -- Roger Maris' record of 61 home runs in a season had stood for 37 years. Mitchell's investigation was a difficult one because he had no subpoena power, meaning he had no way to force players or witness to cooperate with his investigation.

Today 2 ET see full schedule » Though media reports say two players talked to Mitchell, only Jason Giambi -- the New Yankees designated hitter and 2000 American League MVP -- has been named as cooperating in the probe. Giambi, who told USA Today earlier this year that he "was wrong for doing that stuff," has said he would discuss only his own use and not that of other players. Giambi has never detailed publicly what performance-enhancing substances he used, but it has been widely reported that he told a federal grand jury in 2003 that he used steroids and human growth hormone. What are anabolic steroids? » Don't Miss * SI.com: Mitchell will drop bombshell * Barry Bonds pleads not guilty * I-Reporters point to owners, commissioners * Former star blames health issues on steroids Because players would not cooperate, it is believed Mitchell used two sources to compose his list of offenders: Kirk Radomski, a former New York Mets clubhouse attendant accused of selling steroids, and the results of an ongoing investigation into a Florida anti-aging clinic accused of selling performance-enhancing drugs. A probe of the clinic's records showed that it had sold performance enhancers to several Major League Baseball players, some of whom have been named. Radomski agreed to cooperate with investigators after pleading guilty in April to illegally distributing performance-enhancing drugs. Only one name is sure to be on Mitchell's list -- David Segui, who retired in 2004 after 15 seasons. Segui has admitted to using steroids and human growth hormone during that time. Segui, who played for seven teams in his pro career, told The Baltimore Sun that he refused to help Mitchell because he didn't want other players to think he was talking about them. Baseball didn't begin testing for steroids until 2003. In a CNN interview, Victor Conte, the disgraced founder of the Bay Area Laboratories Co-Operative, said pro baseball's drug-testing policy is a farce. Conte, whose BALCO operation has repeatedly been tied to Bonds, said he sat down Wednesday with World Anti-Doping Agency President Dick Pound to discuss ways to combat drug use in sports. The agency, Conte said, lists 60 stimulants as banned substances, only half of which are recognized by Major League Baseball. By not including the other 30 substances on the list, baseball is essentially promoting their use, he said. Watch Conte explain why tougher testing is needed Video "What that basically tells the players is that the front doors to the barn are closed, but the side doors and the back door are wide open," he said. Conte, who was released from prison in March 2006 after serving time on conspiracy and money laundering charges, has admitted to conspiring to distribute performance-enhancing substances, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. advertisement To date, Rafael Palmeiro, who is the fourth player in major league history to amass 500 home runs and 3,000 hits, is the highest profile athlete to fail a drug test. His failed drug test came in 2005, five months after he told a congressional committee he had never used steroids. Despite the steroid controversy, Major League Baseball enjoyed record revenues of $6 billion this year, and for the fourth year in a row, the league set a total attendance record. source. |

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

The fact Clemens got jack makes me laugh. I've never liked him. The big thing about all of this is that steroids weren't illegal when most of these guys were taking them. I realize that baseball is suppose to be so pure and this and that, but if something isn't against the rules and could make me perform better, hell yeah I would do it. This is going to open up a huge can of worms though. Some of these former players might start outing more players. Oh this is great!
