Identified Through Other Means (7)
| Player | Mitchell Report allegation | Post-report player response |
|---|---|---|
| Manny Alexander | On June 30, 2000, police discovered steroids and two hypodermic needles in the glove box of Alexander's vehicle. Alexander had loaned the vehicle to a clubhouse employee of the Red Sox, Carlos Cowart, and Cowart and a friend of his were sitting in the parked vehicle when the officers approached, in the belief that the vehicle might have been stolen. | |
| Ricky Bones | In June 2000, a clubhouse attendant with the Florida Marlins discovered syringes and two kinds of steroids (stanozolol and nandrolone decanoate) in a paper bag inside Bones's locker. When questioned by Mitchell, Bones admitted that he had procured the steroids from a doctor in his native Puerto Rico and then administered them to himself. | |
| Alex Cabrera | In September 2003, a package intended for Cabrera was delivered to the Arizona Diamondbacks' clubhouse. Clubhouse attendants reported the package to the trainers and told Cabrera the package was lost. League officials tested the contents of the package and discovered it contained anabolic steroids (Winstrol) and over-the-counter diet pills. Through investigation of the package, Major League Baseball discovered that "players with the El Paso Diablos, a minor league affiliate of the Diamondbacks, regularly crossed the border into Mexico to purchase steroids." Cabrera was unable to be tested regarding the package, but denied ever having used steroids after the report was released. | |
| Paxton Crawford | Crawford admitted to using human growth hormone and steroids while playing for the Boston Red Sox in 2001 and 2002. In an article in ESPN The Magazine, Crawford recounted an incident where syringes had fallen on the floor of the locker room, causing other players to laugh. Crawford declined to be interviewed for the Mitchell investigation stating he did not "do that stuff anymore." Other Red Sox players deny the syringe-dropping incident ever happened. | |

| Mike Judd | Around May 1999, Todd Seyler, a minor league strength and conditioning coach began to speak to players including Judd about performance enhancing drugs. Seyler stated that the players were to give money to Matt Herges or Paul Lo Duca, so they could purchase steroids. Seyler recalled that he had observed Judd inject himself with either Deca-Durabolin or Winstrol in July 1999. Seyler believed Judd continued to use the steroid for the next six weeks, based on conversations with him. Judd did not respond to a request to interview with Mitchell. | |

Famous quotes containing the words identified and/or means:
“Societies need to have one illness which becomes identified with evil, and attaches blame to its “victims.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“... though it is by no means requisite that the American women should emulate the men in the pursuit of the whale, the felling of the forest, or the shooting of wild turkeys, they might, with advantage, be taught in early youth to excel in the race, to hit a mark, to swim, and in short to use every exercise which could impart vigor to their frames and independence to their minds.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
