Lotta familiar names on there.

If we are to take this list at face value, then it would appear that Albert Pujols has forever tarnished his legacy as well.

That is too bad, if this list is legit.

What bothers me is that many legitimate media outlets are treating this the same as if these athletes were found to be buying and using crack cocaine.

In some cases, athletes obtained their drugs through legitimate medical sources, and they are legal prescription pharmaceuticals. In fact, in the case of HGH, it wasn't even banned by Major League baseball when many of these reports of players using it occurred.

I hope reporters do make an effort to distinguish which players obtained their performance-enhancing drugs legally, distinguish legal pharmaceuticals like HGH as opposed to illegal "designer steroids", and which ones were using them when it was not banned by MLB, and therefore violated no rules.

Better put one of those asterisk thingies next to Mark McGwires home run record too.

Boy...that bogus list that was floating around the internet before the actual list came out was complete garbage...
No Pujols, Wood, or Prior from the Cubs or Cards...just a bunch of mopes like Gary Bennett, Larry Bigbie, Glenallen Hill, Cody McKay, Jason Christiansen, etc...

But the stuff on Clemens from the report is pretty amazing...Rocket's image is in big, big trouble. It will be interesting how he tries to spin his way out of this mess.

The second list is fairly generic with the exception of Clemens.... The names on the first list could harm baseball from here on... I smell a rat!

What record does McGwire hold? He doesn't hold any, anymore.

The list also includes an ex-ISU pitcher
