Mitchell Report on Steroids in Sports Due Tomorrow

mitchell-report-steroids-baseball Tomorrow many major sports stars are going to be outed for steroid use.  A Congressional report, dubbed the Mitchell Report is due to be released and it is being hyped as either an outing or a bomb shell for major sports stars.

In recent weeks Barry Bonds has been indicted for perjury in relation to steroid use and Marion Jones was stripped of her Olympic medals today.

But tomorrow there could be a wave of people identified. So far there has been a lot of focus on the most high profile athletes but tomorrow there could be many A- and B and C athletes identified.  That could end the careers of lesser athletes with little name recognition and might definitely detract from others abilities to earn as much.  Instead of living the life as high rollers they might be kicked to the back of the player bus and get pushed into cheap hotel las vegas as opposed to the swank and posh regime.

Even more so, some may see time behind bars probably more often for perjury as in the Bonds case than in any other break in laws.
