MLB Steriod Report Expected To Name 50+ Players
Former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell and commissioner Bud Selig will hold separate news conferences Thursday to discuss Mitchell’s 21-month investigation into steroids and Major League Baseball.
Mitchell’s staff delivered their report on the investigation to baseball officials earlier this week. MLB executives are using the 48 hours prior to the report’s public release to review the document to make sure there are no disclosures of confidential information that would violate the collective bargaining agreement with the Players Association.
Several media reports have indicated at least 50 and maybe as many as 80 players will be mentioned by name in the report.

Strikeout: Barry Bonds Indicted Over Steriod Probe
Baseball superstar Barry Bonds has been indicted on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice after lying to investigators probing a steroid scandal.
The indictment, filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, stems from the investigation into the San Francisco Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative (BALCO) whose top figures have already served jail time on steroid distribution charges.
“During the criminal investigation, evidence was obtained including positive tests for the presence of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing substances for Bonds and other professional athletes,” the indictment said.
If convicted on a perjury charge, Bonds could face up to five years in prison.
