Roger Clemens,who won the Cy Young award a record seven times, and seven players who
won baseball’s most valuable player award were among dozens of
players named Thursday in the former Senator George J. Mitchell’s report on his investigation into the use of performance-enhancing drugs in the sport.“For more than a decade there has been widespread anabolic
steroid use,” Mr. Mitchell said in a news conference announcing
the results of a 20-month investigation he led at the behest of Major
League Baseball. He said the use of performance-enhancing substances
“poses a serious threat to the integrity of the game.”
Clemens was the most prominent name in the report, along with the Most Valuable Player award-winners Barry Bonds, Ken Caminiti, José Canseco, Jason Giambi, Juan Gonzalez, Mo Vaughn and Miguel Tejada.
The report also includes the names of three of the top 10 home-run leaders of all time: Bonds, Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmiero.
