Former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, hired by commissioner Bud Selig to examine the "Steroids Era," released his report today. It was damning to MLB, to the players' union, and certainly to the players themselves. All professional sports are facing a crisis when it comes to performance enhancing drugs, but perhaps none more so in the US than is MLB. It needs to clean up its house and the methods that it uses must be draconian in relation to the mamby-pamby nature of its rules heretofore. To me, the players and their deeds who are implicated in steroid use simply do not exist. They have been erased from history, erased from the record books. It is just sad.
For more on the report, see MSNBC and ESPN.
