Mitchell Report divided into 3 separate lists. List #1 presented worst: any Radomski/McNamee names listed as "steroids." Glaus lucky.

I wondered why Troy Glaus, World Series MVP and "named" a steroids purchaser, wasn't being hammered around the clock for his usage, and in the process I found this list on SportingNews.com from 12/13/07. First, it contains at least one lie and anyone claiming it's true should be sued.

• It presents the Mitchell Report in 3 groups:

• #1-The New York clubhouse/IRS investigator's list, which is referred to here as the "steroids" list.

• #2- "Alleged" internet purchasers, and,

• #3-Balco names.

Andy Pettitte is listed under the first list, "steroids" list--which is a lie. He has never been connected to steroids. (Among others, David Justice, Chuck Knoblauch, and Mike Stanton haven't been connected to "steroids" and they're on this list).

• About Troy Glaus, WORLD SERIES MVP: His name finally appears, but not as a steroids user (which is something different from HGH). You have to go all the way down to the 2nd list, the "alleged internet" connected names....

Where is the call for the RETURN OF HIS TAINTED WORLD SERIES MVP TITLE? OR FOR THE REVOCATION OF THE ANGELS' WORLD SERIES TITLE?

• Glaus is given further grace, further LEGAL, HISTORIC, AND MEDIA distance from the report's 'PREFERRED' names ( the first list)--WHICH ARE THOSE FROM THE NOVITSKY/RADOMSKI/MCNAMEE INVESTIGATION. That's not my opinion--it's right here on the page from SportingNews.com.

Glaus's list JUST SAYS HE WAS CONNECTED TO "ALLEGED INTERNET PURCHASES OF PERFORMANCE ENHANCING SUBSTANCES."

• NO MENTION OF STEROIDS FOR GLAUS. AND HE GETS THE BENEFIT OF THE WORD "ALLEGED."

DAYS BEFORE THE "MITCHELL REPORT" CAME OUT, GLAUS' STEROIDS OFFENSE WAS JUDGED TO BE "INSUFFICIENT" TO WARRANT PUNISHMENT. This followed a story in SI-- (9/7/07). SO GLAUS WAS GIVEN A PASS FOR A RELATIVELY EGREGIOUS OFFENSE COMPARED TO MANY OTHERS : (From 1/16/08 AP story by Jim Salter in USA Today): ****** "SI.com reported in September that the former World Series MVP received steroids from Signature Pharmacy between September 2003 and May 2004. On Dec. 6, (2007) Major League Baseball said it found insufficient evidence to discipline him."

• (While "others" became a global story as George Mitchell went on CNN and the others to build it. Last night, 2/21/07, I even saw a special on the National Geographic Channel about the so-called Mitchell report--with certain names and headlines highlighted).

• (You don't enter into a war unless you're sure you can win it. This list's creator and purveyors correctly decided they could say anything they want about a Yankee, minimize and marginalize certain others, and nothing bad would happen to them).

• (From SportingNews.com): "Here's a list of most of the names of Major League Baseball players listed in the Mitchell Report.
