The Mitchell Report
This entry is not training related, but as a long time baseball player and fan, I thought some may enjoy reading through the actual Mitchell Report.
If you haven’t heard of the report, you can catch up at the link below:
Big Names Connected To Performance Enhancing Drugs
And here is an editorial regarding the latest news:
As for my thoughts, I’d like to believe that it isn’t true. Perhaps some of the players are innocent. I honestly don’t know. We never will truly know what has happened behind the scenes. It is unfortunate however. That is one truth that will always remain.
I met Roger Clemens back in the late 1980’s. I always admired his play on the field. He was known for his work ethic and toughness. I looked up to him. I would hate to think that so much of his success came from a needle.

As much as it stinks, this report is only a drop in the bucket…a tiny fraction of those who actually used/are using illegal performance enhancers in baseball. Despite being an ardent fan of Clemens for a long time, my objective intellect has long overridden my subjective desire for him to be clean…so the implication of his guilt in the report came to me without an ounce of shock. So sad how the sport has forever obfuscated it’s once hallowed record books with this pathetic blight of an era….
