But if Ricky was clean, his speed, and bat were impresive as well.

I'm actually surprised at two things at this point. a) That A-Rod wasn't listed. I remember seeing him play as a Calgary Cannon, and he was a bean pole. I understand that you can bulk up without drugs, but there's just something about the guy that makes me surprised that he didn't make the list. b) That Clemmons is taking the bulk of the press on this. There's a fricken long list there, and he seems to be the focus. I guess every news story needs a poster boy, but they all are accused of cheating... not just the Rocket. Not trying to defend the guy, but this story is bigger than Roger Clemmons.
The report left out at least a few names. Based on information from Radomski, for instance, Mitchell declined to name three players:
