Actually a lot of these guys were named in Jose Canseco’s book a few yrs ago
Note that no one has sued Canseco....and the media who bashed Canseco earlier are now having to agree with him
The one thing that puzzled me yesterday was the Mitchell Commission advising baseball “not to punish the players...except in agregious cases”.....which means Mitchell and Co. may be a little nervous about the accuracy....esp if they had to answer in court.
The best way for all to handle the issue is to stop watching MLB. The only way they will clean it up is for people to stay away from games and not watch on TV

I can’t wait for spring training.
A lot of people have castigated Judge Landis for being unduly harsh on Joe Jackson, et al., but let’s face it, we never saw another betting scandal like it until Pete Rose, who was also severely dealt with by Giamatti.
Selig is a coward. If he had any stones (or brains), he would flush this toilet, prove to the players’ union that steroids=lifetime ban, and in a couple years or so, a new crop of ballplayers will emerge, hopefully untainted, and baseball can get back to being baseball. Right now, however, unless the active players among this bunch are expunged from the game, there is simply no reason to believe it isn’t an ongoing problem.
I can’t wait to see the first lawsuit from players who didn’t do the “clear”, got cut from teams in favor of these cheaters, and saw their careers come to an end.
C'mon now bro, hate da playa, not da game.
Mitchell’s advice to not punish the players may have reflected the reality of the situation — in which MLB may have been on shaky legal ground to punish anyone.

Yep. Somewhere Canseco, like him or not, is laughing his ass off.
