Who will be on the Steroid Users List?

You know, they pulled Marion Jones' gold medals and are considering pulling her teammates. It almost seems as if some of the World Series pennants should take similar punishment. Although, Marion admitted to usage. This is just the "black book"

I was expecting the list to be larger, based on the news reports:

This is from SI.com...
“Roger Clemens, Miguel Tejada and Andy Pettitte were named in the long-awaited Mitchell Report on Thursday, an All-Star roster linked to steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs that put a question mark -- if not an asterisk -- next to some of baseball's biggest moments.
Barry Bonds, already under indictment on charges of lying to a federal grand jury about steroids, and Gary Sheffield also showed up in baseball's most infamous lineup since the Black Sox scandal.”
“Besides Clemens and Pettitte, other ex-Yankees named include Mike Stanton, Chuck Knoblauch and Jason Grimsley. Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts also is in the report, as is Yankees and Braves postseason hero David Justice.
Other players include: Troy Glaus, Gary Matthews Jr., Rick Ankiel, Jay Gibbons, Mo Vaughn, Paul Lo Duca, Eric Gagne, Glenallen Hill, Gregg Zaun, Rondell White, Hal Morris, Todd Hundley, Larry Bigbie, Lenny Dykstra, David Segui, Matt Herges, Kevin Brown, Mike Lansing, Wally Joyner, Nook Logan, Jeremy Giambi, Benito Santiago, Denny Neagle, Ron Villone, Fernando Vina, Todd Pratt, Jack Cust, Matt Williams, John Rocker, Paul Byrd, F.P. Santangelo and Randy Velarde. “

...I see John Rocker returns.

I cried inside when they pulled Marion Jones' medals. She was a role model to me and many girls who had dreams of becoming runners...

What some must remember is that a certain date, it was not illegal!

Now, it is?

Not sure if you're referring to US legislation or the MLB ban.
Assuming you're referring to the US legislation in the early 90's, the DEA and National Institute of Health were AGAINST steroids being made illegal. There has NEVER been a conclusive study linking steroid use to death or serious side effects when used properly.

Did anyone else think her sentencing was a little harsh? I mean, I understand she is a role model and should face consequences, but they've already pulled her medals, she lost her endorsement money (and any hope of future employment) and is humiliated. What does 6 months in jail accomplish? (while Barry Bonds walks free and keeps his records... ) http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...2_jones12.html
