I love how fans immediately believe that just because someone said something makes it true. Haven't you ever heard of people saying things to get publicity or for revenge? It happens all the time in the media with celebrities, ALL THE TIME! I mean, right now they are going on and on about the trainer. Don't you think that trainer wanted to be mentioned? Now people know his name and he can make money selling his story like Canseco. Please people, use common sense before jumping to conclusion.

There would probably be more proof if MLB had a respectable drug testing policy. There are copies of checks that the players gave a steriod provider for steriods. So apparently it is not just word of mouth. I mean they may not all be guilty, but I doubt that all 60-80 are innocent.

I agree totally. What's the trainer's motivation? Just like the judge in the Anna Nicole Smith case, this guy could be trying to sell himself because his resume and cover letter aren't getting him any big money offers!
Plus, media is a business too, so papers and networks have to make money as well selling stories that the reporters know damn well are unproven, inaccurate, or outright lies.

And to add one additional detail, that is all Mitchell intended it to be. He is just reporting what he has uncovered from credible people, documentation provided to him, and passing it on to MLB who will have the responsibility to take it further if they intend to do so.

well word of mouth is the only we can go by it not like any of the players would help or admit anything
