Sources: Players, owners to share blame in Mitchell report
By T.J. Quinn and Mark Fainaru-Wada
ESPN.com
Major League Baseball and the Players Association share the blame for tolerating a widespread culture of drug abuse, George Mitchell's report on doping in baseball says, according to two lawyers who said they are familiar with the report.
Both lawyers told ESPN that the report assigns blame for the rise of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball "from top to bottom," and recommends that MLB and the union agree to outsource their drug testing program to an independent agency.
The sources would not reveal the names of players included in the report, but confirmed that as many as 80 are listed. One lawyer expected several "very, very high-level names" to be exposed, although Mitchell is frank in the report about how difficult it was to get information regarding the extent of player use.
"He admits that he can only go back so far because of the lack of cooperation, but says it's more important to move ahead," one lawyer said.
Mitchell plans to release his report at 2 p.m. ET Thursday at a news conference in New York City.

But hey, chicks dig the long ball, so it's all good 'n [censored].

true, there is a supposed list of players that has been leaked already, and from what I see most of them were already known/or suspected for using steroids, so mitchell is just reporting what we already know
