QUOTES ABOUT THE MITCHELL REPORT ON PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUGS IN
BASEBALL
... "George Mitchell is wrong not to urge annulling past baseball drug
offenders' records and results. All Olympic sports have a stronger
anti-drug program than what Mitchell proposes for documented offenders,
past and present. Baseball's drug policy is a sham and will remain weak
under Mitchell's proposals." - Bob Weiner, ex-White House drug spokesman
who assisted in the creation of the United States Anti-Doping Agency
(USADA) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
