If they truly were innocent, they'd sue in a heartbeat. Wait and see how many of them actually do.

That is not true at all. If you sue you have to reveal a lot of things and spend a lot of money for a cause that is very hard to prove. You cannot win a case of slander just because someone lied. You win if the information that was not true was malicious or purposely a lie to destroy your reputation. This is the very reason you do not see celebrities sue tabloids when the information is obviously untrue. You would be suing for every lie that is out there and why bother opening yourself up to other things you do not want the public to know. Suing is not going to prove anything. And in some cases there were names that were only put on the list that had a conversation with someone, not any paper trail or first hand knowledge of actual drug use. The report is a joke. There are more than 80 players that took performance enhancing drugs. And the funny part is that Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa were not listed at all. I bet not very many people believe they were not taking stuff to enhance their performance.
