Senator George Mitchell's Report on Steroids in Baseball Advance word was that 80 Major League Baseball players would be linked to drug use by name in today's long-awaited report from former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell. Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig appointed Mitchell to investigate the use of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs by players.
