For those interested in checking whether their favorite professional baseball player is a cheat, Major League Baseball has posted a report on steroid use among current and former players.

Miguel Tejada allegedly paid by check for steroids

The 304-page report can be found at mlb.com/mitchrpt.pdf (PDF). The document is the result of an investigation conducted by former Senator George Mitchell, who is scheduled to hold a press conference this morning.

MLB executives hired Mitchell in 2006.

Mitchell rounded up the usual suspects in his report, such as Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Gary Sheffield, and the brothers, Jason and Jeremy Giambi. But among the surprise players implicated by Mitchell are Miguel Tejada, Kevin Brown, David Justice, Lenny Dykstra and Paul Lo Duca.

A spokesman for Major League Baseball Advanced Media, the group that oversees league's digital operations, said the group is prepared to handle any kind of spike in Web site traffic.

Surprise?

Lenny Dykstra actually came out during I believe last season and admitted to using steroids as an active player, so how he's a surprise listing I don't know. I am glad, though, to see Roger Clemens on list as it confirms my speculation that everyone I talked to doubted.
I would really like to see a comparison between % time on the DL of those listed players when compared to the MLB Average.

When Rafael Palmiero got caught....what got him basically kicked off the team was that he claimed and put the finger on a team mate for providing the steroids....that player....Miguel Tejada.
