I find it interesting that the implications of this report all over the media are that the players named are all CURRENT users. Rick Ankiel says he DID use, but hasn't for more than five years. Matt Herges, a local boy who is a journeyman pitcher, is on the list and the "proof" of his involvement is a check that is four years old.
I suspect a lot of current and former users will never suffer any reprecussions legally, but will be embarrassed enough by the whole thing that they will never use - or THINK of using - again. While the Mitchell report is a crude tool, it will be an effective one.
