Baseball fans at SF State who read George Mitchell’s long-awaited investigative report on performance-enhancing drug use today questioned the sport’s records and called for reform.

The voluminous, 409-page report claims that the illegal use of anabolic steroids, human growth hormone and other performance enhancers has been prevalent in Major League Baseball for more than a decade, to a greater extent than had previously been officially recognized.

Several players named in the report, including superstars Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte and former Oakland Athletic Miguel Tejada, allegedly purchased and/or used illegal substances while playing in major leagues. Clemens, through his agent and lawyer, released a statement earlier today denying the allegations, according to mlb.com.

Clemens’ name particularly interested those on campus today who skimmed the report, as the seven-time Cy Young Award-winner is likely the best player newly implicated.

“It’s messed up. All of a sudden this report comes out, and [Clemens] goes from a definite Hall of Famer to questionable,” said Richard Diep, 22. The psychology major said some of the high-profile names surprised him, and that the report negatively affected his perspective on some of MLB’s more recent statistical records.

Ashley Smith, a 25-year-old student from Skyline College eating with his friends in the student center, said “I’m not surprised about Clemens, I’m surprised about Pettitte. I’m on the fence about Tejada.” Smith said he disliked Clemens before reading his name in the report, but now he dislikes him even more. “MLB’s afraid to clean up its own mess,” and it needs a new commissioner to do so, he said.

“Even though you have these names, it’s just the tip of the iceberg,” said Raul Amaya, 23. What’s done is done, said the psychology major, who admits he’s “not a hardcore fan” and therefore not upset to see the named stars in the report. “It’s too much to look over every stat and player. Move on.”
