Probe Gets New Baseball Steroid Evidence

Documents from former Mets clubhouse worker ties players to drugs

Share

(Newser) – A former Mets clubhouse attendant has turned over documentation allegedly detailing players' use of performance-enhancers to George Mitchell’s investigation of steroids in baseball. In April the attendant pleaded guilty to providing major leaguers with performance-enhancing drugs from 1995-2005. Now Mitchell has received the paperwork linking players to the drugs, reports AP.

Included in the papers Mitchell received are reportedly invoices that detail the substances sent to players. Mitchell’s investigation report will probably be issued by the end of the year and will likely name names, including “dozens of current and former Major League Baseball players” listed in the attendant’s December 2005 affidavit .
