Lies in the Mitchell Report?

Question

Well apparently there were some things wrong with the Mitchell Report. Now i know that it was Brian McNamee that stated Clemens name in the report, but Kirk Radomski also had something to do with it (or so it was said) but yet in Radomski's testimony Clemens name was never mentioned. So now its a "he said she said" game. Why would Radomski not mention Clemens if he also knew McNamee was shooting up Clemens? (the two trainers worked together) Seems odd. Another thing is this, in Radomski's testimony he apparently admits to other ballplayers who have used steroids but the "lesser" names arent in the report? How come? What was Mitchell's intentions? B/c now it seems like he had some....what the hell to make of all this.

I dont think the report will have any affect on baseball, but now its just twisting my brain on all of these things. Who the hell knows......

Answer 1

because of this report people are pointing fingers at everyone. Pettite took HGH because he wanted to heal faster to help the team. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty. If Clemens didn't take steroids and his name was mentioned It could ruin his chanced to enter the Hall of fame. Selig should be doing something to save the MLB reputation but all he does is sit on his fanny and wait for the witch hunt to get worse.

Answer 2

There could be lies in the Mitchell report, but do you think that it would take as long as 20 months to think it up? Roger Clemons is denying that he took steriods, but this conutry you are not guilty, until you are proven guilty. And look for this game to conutine on, and maybe Clemens can fork over enough proof that he didn't take steriods. I have no idea why he didn't mention Clemens, but maybe not enough proof to mention him. And maybe that this even enough proof that trainers should not work together, or this topic should be dropped. I don't know what Fred Mitchell will do know, he might as well think that he has done his part, and that there is nothing more then he can do, and let other people do what they need to do to get this all resolved. And when will that be, who knows, but it might or might not be anytime soon.

Answer 3

It does not matter if your Mom gives you HGH and says it will make you pretty...It is your responsibility to know that when you are a professional athlete you are under a contract that explicitly states you can not take any performance enhancing drugs...There is not a clause in there for " I didn't know what I took" Try telling that to a police officer when your drug screen comes back positive. I don't know whether or not to belive the Mitchell report but if players like Pettite come out and admit to wrong doing they should get the same penalty as the players who get caught by drug testing.

Answer 4

"I dont think the report will have any affect on baseball..."
It is a little too late for that...the report has already forced several of the players mentioned to come out and admit they did it...you can't really say they were lies in the report either...if its a he said, he said matter how do you know who to believe? Right now I am more inclined to believe the report than I am Clemens.

Answer 5

i really believe that this report is not correct and not right from top to bottom, 1st things 1st, Mitchell is a well known open red sox fan, the "two" (again only "2" again "2") main sources for the whole report where from the NEW YORK/YANKEES base, where was the focus about the rest of baseball? Sammy Sosa is not in the report, but was years ago before congress about it, remember? etc. etc.
players names got on the report because Radomsky had checks from them, ESPN reported that one player was called by the Mitchell club, wanting to talk to him about getting the stuff, and their source was a check to radomsky, and when he said that he never bought any drugs and the money was for anything else, THEY LET HIM GO
part 2 - imagine you are sick and your friend whom you trust gives you something that will make you feel better faster, wouldn't you take it? i sure would (again, a person you trust), i wouldn't think he is trying to poison me, etc.
so, pettite was injured, his PERSONAL TRAINER FRIEND and TRAINER, gives him hgh to heel it faster, and now he is called a cheater, THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME.
