Those power hitters were power hitters before they took steroids as well. Hitting a lot of home runs is NOT a reason to suspect steroid use. You CANNOT just look at a player's home runs and say "STEROID USER!" Steroids do not magically make you a power hitter. They're not going to turn a 10-homer guy into a 40-homer guy.

Power-hitting is NOT AT ALL a reason to suspect steroid use. Otherwise, we have literally thousands of suspected steroid users throughout history.

"Later that summer, Clemens asked McNamee to inject him with Winstrol, which Clemens supplied. McNamee knew the substance was Winstrol because the vials Clemens gave him were so labeled. McNamee injected Clemens approximately four times in the buttocks over a several-week period with needles that Clemens provided. Each incident took place in Clemens's apartment at the SkyDome. McNamee never asked Clemens where he obtained the steroids."

What is "PE Drugs"? And where did you get that list from?

Ivan Rodriguez was not in the Mitchell Report, and neither were a few of those other names you listed.

[bloodystar]

This list was taken from ESPN form several hours ago.

[mnstonecold]

Well with Selig along with Mitchell have effectively killed baseball's growth. No one will want to watch these players now that they have even been suspected as having taken steroids or HGH. Good going Selig you stupid *******!

I think that the drug problem is bad, but they will never be able to find and stop all of them. They just said on ESPn that there will be new drugs and new ways to find and detect them and people will use them until they are banned like they did in 2003-5. By the way what happened to congress' investigation of WWE and pro wrestling and MMA organizations for the same thing? That is already on they way out so will it spell the same for baseball?

Surprised not to See A-Rod There

[HoustonGM]

I merged Wassit's list with this thread. Keep everything here.

This list was taken from ESPN form several hours ago.

There was a bogus report from CNBC earlier this morning, and it looks like that list from ESPN has the names from the bogus report.

Well with Selig along with Mitchell have effectively killed baseball's growth. No one will want to watch these players now that they have even been suspected as having taken steroids or HGH. Good going Selig you stupid *******!

OH PLEASE! McGwire's Andro story broke the summer he was breaking the home run record, and people still showed. This report changes nothing. The players implicated were all pretty much suspected of it in the first place. People have known for a long time now that steroids were a problem...and MLB is breaking attendance and revenue records.

Don't people who use steroids do so because they help with strength conditioning?

People use steroids because it conditions the body and promotes quicker and better recovery from injury, and because some do increase some muscle mass.

I don't see how you can argue that an athlete who uses them and strength trains is not going to be a more powerful hitter.He is going to have more powerful legs, shoulders, torso, everything that will help him drive a ball farther.

Hitting a ball far requires MUCH more than pure strength, much more than steroids helps.

Is every power guy on steroids. NO. May there be some that are out there that would shock all of us? I just believe this is probably true. Thats all.

I'm sure there are players out there that would "shock us", power hitter or not, but you said that baseball is "protecting the sport" by not "going after" the power guys. That sure sounds like you're suggesting that baseball should "go after" power guys because they're power hitters, and that would be completely wrong.

Surprised not to See A-Rod There

Why?

[HoustonGM]

Clemens denies allegations.

[BM_MAN]

Clemens denies allegations.

Well He Could Covering his ***
