Mitchell’s 20-month investigation into the use of anabolic steroids and human growth hormone (HGH) in Major League Baseball (MLB). The 409-page report was released on December 13, 2007, and covers the history of illegal performance-enhancing substance use by players in the league as well as the effectiveness of the MLB Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. The report also listed recommendations regarding the handling of past illegal drug use and future prevention practices. The report called out 89 MLB players who are alleged to have used steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs throughout their careers.
