Go here to view the Mitchell report.
There were 91 players named in the report, a list that included 33 all-stars, 10 most valuable players, and two Cy Young winners.
Roger “the Rocket” Clemens, a seven-time Cy Young Award winner, who some believe to be the greatest pitcher of the last half-century, was singled out by a team trainer for repeatedly taking steroids and human growth hormone while he was with the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees.
I’m sure the Rocket hates this red glare.
There’s plenty of blame to go around.
"Everyone involved in baseball over the past two decades -- commissioners, club officials, the players association, and players -- shares to some extent in the responsibility for the steroids era," the report said. "There was a collective failure to recognize the problem as it emerged and to deal with it early on. As a result, an environment developed in which illegal use became widespread."
One word: shameful.
