More Steroid Scandals Rock The Baseball World

Friday, December 14th, 2007

After 20 months of investigations, Senate Majority leader George Mitchell has released a 409 page report exposing allegations of rampant steroid use within Major League Baseball.

89 total players, current and retired, were named, including heavy hitters such as Roger Clemens, Miguel Tejada, Fernando Vina, Andy Pettitte, Lenny Dyckstra, and others. This is a completely bigger box of problems that has now been opened.

Some of the drugs that have been rumored for the last several years to be used are testosterone, HGH (aka Human Growth Hormone), Dianabol, Deca Durabolin, amphetimines, and others.

Although some of these substances have been shown to be crucial in muscle building and weight gaining, many are alleging that Major League Baseball players are using these substances to enhance strength, speed, muscle / tendon / ligament recovery, and even improved vision.

We’ll have to see what the overall results will be.
