Talk:Mitchell Report

lost citation...
According to ESPN, some people questioned whether Mitchell being a director of the Boston Red Sox created a conflict of interest, especially because no "prime [Sox] players were in the report." used to have a related ESPN reference. But that reference is not attached to that sentence anymore. Where did it go, and can someone find it and put it back? Kingturtle (talk) 20:17, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Brian McNamee
By all notability standards, and with the long term ramifications of his actions, hasn't McNamee yet warranted his own Wikipedia page? Not only are far more obscure figures throughout Wikipedia already in possession of their own pages, but I just don't see how such a monumental and recognizable figure, who will forever have a place in professional baseball, illegal drug distribution, and in legal proceedings doesn't warrant his own page.

update tag
Parts of the article need updating. For example the article quotes the Clemens denial without any update on his post-denial life. Also, the article adds that Pettite admitted to HGH use, implying that the others did not. At this time, from what I understand, far more players have admitted. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 06:03, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not certain I agree, at least with the examples that you provide. The mention of Clemens' denial pertains directly to the Mitchell Report (his initial reaction to it). I think it would be a mistake to try to trace the personal histories of each involved party in the years since the report, as it would cause the article's focus to stray. I think it's appropriate that the information in this article reflects the facts as they were at the time of the report. Possibly a section devoted to the report's legacy would be in order but, considering the ease of access to more current information, especially in the "See Also" section, I'm not sure it's necessary. To overly summarize my PoV, this article is about the Mitchell Report (c. 2006-2007), not the comprehensive history of Banned substances in baseball in the United States. I'm aware that this is an old topic but the Update Tag is still on the page. korbnep &#171;talk&#187; 18:25, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

Bush
"The day after the report was released, then-President of the United States George W. Bush, a former co-owner of the Texas Rangers, stated that "we can jump to this conclusion: that steroids have sullied the game." He said he had no prior knowledge or awareness of player steroid use. He added, "My hope is that this report is a part of putting the steroid era of baseball behind us." [20]"

The Report was released in 2007. Bush mentioned steroid use specifically in baseball in his 2004 State of the Union Address. Guess it was shocking enough to him to make him jump to a conclusion. Sure glad he didn't make a habit of that. 68.153.29.23 (talk) 15:06, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
