Clemens Allegedly On Steroid List (Update: Or Not?)

I hope not but it appears that the star St. Louis first baseman and the Yankee pitcher are about to take a serious hit to their careers.

Newschannel 4's Jonathan Dienst has obtained the expected list of current and former major league players linked to steroids, according to George Mitchell's investigation. The list includes former MVP's Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols, Jason Giambi, Ken Caminitti and Albert Belle. The list contains two sets of brothers: Jose and Ozzie Canseco and Aaron and Bret Boone. Cy Young award winner Roger Clemens is also on the list.

Update: The report has been retracted by WNBC at the link above. It sounds like Bud Selig is doing some damage control before the list is released at 2:00 PM today.

Update 2: More here.

Update 3: OK, the WNBC link keeps changing and they're sticking by their story. We'll know soon enough and you can see it at their site where it's streaming live.

Update 4: A heated debate at Hot Air about 'roids, asterisks and an Allah homage to A-Rod.

Update 5: Analysis:

Paul LoDuca's name is all over the report (PDF), as is Clemens, Pettitte and a whole bunch of former Mets players. The name that shocked me is David Justice and it appears that Justice threw some other players under the bus.

The only notable Phillies aren't even on the team or are retired--Lenny Dykstra (no surprise) and Todd Pratt (a bit of a surprise).

So, to sum up, the Mets and the Braves were cheating like crazy. They should be proud. The Yankees should be proud as well.
