Mitchell Report
Steroids. Steroids. Steroids. That’s all that was on sports channels after the Mitchell Report came out several days ago.
The Mitchell Report is a hundred plus sheets of paper that were stapled together and had many different people’s version of steroid talks in it.
It basically is a he said, she said type of thing. It’s very alarming when a high profile name like Roger Clemens come in the report. In fact, he is talked about in approximately eight pages of the book. It doesn’t matter about Clemens because the Yankees fans will continue to buy New York Yankees merchandise that has the current and past players names on it, whether or not they are involved with using performance enhancing substances.
There were several dozen baseball players named in all. A couple of the players named will not play at the start of the next baseball season because they are already serving a suspension for steroid use.
It’s really a shame that some of the players were ratted out. The baseball players, who are ultimately the role models to others, should have better judgment and avoid such risky behaviors.
Some players tend to forget the cons of using steroids. The cons certainly outweigh the one pro and that it makes your game better.
