Mitchell's report to reveal many names

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

Has Clemens allegedly lied under oath to a federal grand jury about knowingly using steroids?

People tend to leave that little tidbit out, don't they?

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

I'm not sure if he did it professionally. But he was big on bodybuildng and being in tip top shape. I still remember his crazy minor league commercials. When was the last time we've seen a minor league player get so much commercial advertising?

Anyway, linking him to professional body building doesn't really say much if we're trying to not link him to steroids.

Yeah I remember all the press he got for his bodybuilding. All the commercials and segments on ESPN...

I never knew what to believe with Kapler. He could be in great shape because he does lift religiously and is big into bodybuilding or he could be on 'roids like many other bodybuilders.

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

So let the speculation continue.

Rumor has it that there is a current Major League player that Mitchell purposely left out of the report.

Said unidentified player is known to have purchased illegal performance enhancers but provided solid proof that he never used any of the stuff.

I don't know how you go about proving that unless you can show all of your shipments still being in box, sealed, and unopened. I think it still warrants mention.

Of course, it makes me wonder if perhaps the name is being kept secret through any urging of MLB to not ruin a particular star's reputation and therefore MLB's only saving grace.

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

Wasn't Kapler a professional body builder or something like that?

I don't know if he was a pro bodybuilder, but I do remember there being an article on him in one of the popular bodybuilding magazines several years ago.

yeah he was tell me one guy that professional body builder that didn't inject or do something to the effect, also i bet he was a guy who would be asked how did you get so big and they probably got some from him, i just find it hard to believe there are no current sox on the list

After hearing David Justice's on The Herd, I feel much better that he didn't take any HGH. Phew.

Don't know much about the body building culture. I've always assumed those guys were using, but honestly don't pay much attention to it.

Maybe there weren't any current Sox on the list because no current Sox used from those suppliers? Remember, this was a small sampling. I might be mistaken, but I think the Mitchell report used 3 different avenues to get their info (2 trainers and info from the BALCO investigation).

This list was just the tip of the iceberg. It shows that steroid usage is rampant in baseball (which most of us already knew). The fact that many teams didn't have a current player listed just goes to show that those teams players haven't been connected to the sources used in the Mitchell report.

Breaking news from ESPN.

Andy Pettite has addmitted to using HGH.


EDIT: He said he used to to help recover from an elbow injury back in 2002.

Glad he admitted to it.

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

Which pretty much confirms the fact that most people use these things to recover from injuries....

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

btw, anyone notice that there are no current Red Sox on this list? There are plenty of players that "jilted" the Sox, but no Boston players are on the list

perhaps that is because Mitchell is a member of the Boston Red Sox FO? conflict of interest anyone? I dont understand how they could appoint a current leader of a major league team to head this "investigation"

...One person saying he used it to recover from injuries confirms that most do?

Not really.
