@2: Mitchell's probable answer to your question, as per the PDF:

"The illegal use of these substances was not limited to the players who are identified in this report. There have been many estimates of use. In 2002, former National League Most Valuable Player Ken Caminiti estimated that “at least half” of major league players were using anabolic steroids...
However, it is a fact that between 5 and 7 percent of the major league players who
participated in anonymous survey testing in 2003 tested positive for performance enhancing substances. Those figures almost certainly understated the actual level of use since players knew they would be tested at some time during the year, the use of human growth hormone was not detectable in the tests that were conducted, and, as many have observed, a negative test does not necessarily mean that a player has not been using performance enhancing substances."

OBVIOUSLY sports stars, entertainers, political leaders, right wing talk show hosts and pretty much anyone ever held up as a "role model for the kids" is taking some drug or other. The only responsible way forward would be to recognize the omnipresence of drugs in our world, and to build drug awareness into our education programs. Just as all high schools health classes should teach responsible sexuality, all high school sports programs should teach responsible drug use. Parents should take drugs with their kids and teach them how to do it well. I won't hold my breath.

As far as I'm concerned, this is just one more case study proving the insanity of criminalizing drugs.

Why doesnt senator Mitchell go after Scooter or W?

This report gives me a bad feeling. I need to see old you tube videos of Ken Griffey Jr's swing. That swing was as majestic as anything Coltrane put out...

Bullshit.

Trainers keeping the whole thing a secret? Ha ha.

So the steroids aren't really helping him....
