Excellent point. He's merely a lame ex-politician with Boston Red Sox ties that spearheaded the greatest exercise in finger pointing and character destruction since the Salem witch hunts.

I am sorry this is the nail in the coffin. From here on out, people are going to question every player who is doing exceptionally well. Until Baseball shows that it can police this better, every 40+ HR will have a shadow cast around them.
And for people that think this is a Red Sox conspiracy, he mentioned people that played for the Sox in his report. The reason why there are a few current Yankees on there is because they are old and did the steroids years ago. New York had a steroid dealing club house worker who decided to spill the beans. That isn't the Red Sox fault.

Lawsuits? For there to be any lawsuits, the players would have to prove that Mitchell LIED or otherwise knowingly printed false information.
If, for instance, the player found one of the cancelled checks in the report to be forged, and the player can prove that Mitchell KNEW that they were forged, then yes, there's grounds for a lawsuit.
But calling someone a steroid user while only using evidence not strong enough for a court of law? Not at all.

It's funny that statements like this are coming out NOW. When book of shadows came out (written by authors, not judges in a court of law) everyone bashed bonds right away. How is this any different? Clemens is just as tainted as bonds if bonds is tainted

So your position is that even though they spent thousands of dollars for steroids and HGH, these guys are innocent? Oh, right, they bought them, but didn't use them. And any positive test results will be because of tainted supplements.

... he did not say he was a judge.. in fact he went to great lengths to explain that his role was as a fact finder.. he has no benefit from this.. and he isn't even advocating charges against these ' criminals".. I think he wants what everyone want.. to get the sport cleaned up.
