Former federal prosecutor and U.S. senator, George Mitchell, tomorrow will announce the results of his 20-month long investigation into the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. And you'll be able to listen to the full report on XM.
According to New York Times sources, under the condition of anonymity (of course), the report will contain the names of over 50 active and former major league players linked to the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Many of the names in the report are believed to be directly tied to info provided by Kirk Radomski, a former Mets bat boy and clubhouse attendant who pleaded guilty to steroid distribution in April.
In Radomski's plea agreement, he admitted that he supplied dozens of players with steroids, human growth hormone (HGH) and stimulants from 1995 through 2005. As part of the plea, he agreed to cooperate with Mitchell's investigation, giving a big break for Mitchell who was unable to get current MLB players to cooperate with his investigation.
The contents of the long-awaited report are believed to have been revealed only to MLB officials, but the details will be officially released to the public tomorrow when Mitchell holds a news conference in Manhattan at 2pm.
XM Satellite Radio sportscasters will read the complete Mitchell Report in its entirety on XM channel 176. The reading will then be replayed throughout the day.
Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig will be holding his own separate news conference across town at 4:30pm to discuss the report's findings.
MLB Home Plate (ch 175) will also be airing any news and reactions to the report around the clock.
Until now, only high-profile players like Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, José Canseco, Rafael Palmiero and Jason Giambi were directly linked to the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Others have been the subject of continuing speculation. With the Mitchel Report's release, there will be no more speculation. Just a list.

A fascinating use of available bandwidth. I applaud XM for doing this, especially since it it biting the hand that feeds.
Kudos
ESPN is reporting that Roger Clemens name is on the report. Should be interesting to see what other big names will show up.
"A fascinating use of available bandwidth"
They have a station dedicated to MLB. They've been talking about nothing but this report for a week now. Of course that station is going to carry it. Also, ESPN NEws is carrying the live report, so there's 2 places to find it on XM, one on Sirius. Don't be surprised if Fox Sports Radio covers it as well.

That list is according to Deadspin, taken from MSNBC.
Report being read now.
Looks like that list was partially made up. MLB has the pdf of the report on their website.
Here's the actual list. The above one was jsut a rumor, not all of those players are really on the list.

I don't hear it being read on XM 176????
I'm listening to the "dramatic reading" of the report right now. Pretty cool. It looks like they're broadcsting it across all the play by play channels 176-189.
Vince James’ business model that he started out with also changed the way I looked at earning money online. Although I’ ve thought about it before I wasn’ t using it except for one affiliate program I was promoting which paid me recurring income every month from just the initial sale. It also gave me other ideas as far as getting someone to subscribe to membership programs and I recently saw someone using one of the techniques to get signups to their membership site.

One problem related to weight loss is that after reducing a considerable amount of weight, the excess skin which was accommodating the previous volume tends to sag. It is important to get the skin to firm up and back to shape after losing a lot of weight.
Visitors to New York City really need a New Yorker to show them around town. Do you think that will happen in New York? New Yorkers have got a reputation for being rude, so they answer is probably, most definetely NO. Unless you're related to them, and even then it's a long shot.... The fact is New Yorkers are really busy people who are all walking somewhere, in the City that never sleeps.
Botox is like anything else. Abuse it and you'll look like someone hit you in the face with a frying pan..every five minutes of your life.
