Jeff McShan reports on the legal implications for those named in the Mitchell report

The Mitchell report into the use of performance enhancing drugs in Major League Baseball accuses Roger Clemens of using human growth hormone and steroids throughout his storied career, dating back to his days with the Toronto Blue Jays.

Allegations include those made by a former trainer who says he personally injected the drugs for Clemens.

The report also accuses Andy Pettitte of using Human Growth Hormone.

Attorney Rusty Hardin has been retained by Roger Clemens to respond to the report. After reading the report, he issued a statement.

“Roger has been repeatedly tested for these substances and he has never tested positive,” Hardin said in the statement. “There has never been one shred of tangible evidence that he ever used these substances.

“And yet he is being slandered today.”

Hardin went on to slam how Clemens' name found its way into the report and questioned the eyewitness who named both Clemens and Pettitte.

“The use of steroids in sports is a serious problem. It is wrong and should be stopped,” said Hardin. “However, I am extremely upset that Roger’s name was in this report based on the allegations of a troubled and unreliable witness who only came up with names after being threatened with possible prison time.”

Allegations against Miguel Tejada, the former American League MVP who just signed with the Astros on Wednesday, go all the way back to 2003 when he played in Oakland.

Former player Adam Piatt says he provided Tejada with testosterone and human growth hormone.

Checks written by Tejada to Piatt for $3,100 and $3,200 are part of the evidence included in the report.

Tejada was also implicated in Jose Conseco's tell all book in 1997. At the time, Tejada said the allegations were insulting.

The Astros are mentioned several times in the report.

Barry Waters, a longtime Astros executive who was at the time the director of team travel was questioned about a 1999 incident where a package arrived at a hotel where the team was playing. The package was addressed to Ken Caminiti.

It held glass vials of a white liquid and pills. The report says Waters believed they were anabolic steroids and vitamins and that he never delivered the package to the Astros third baseman.

He also did not report the delivery to Astros management or to Major League Baseball, the report contends. Waters declined comment on the report when reached by 11 News Thursday.

Caminiti later admitted steroid used throughout his playing career. Caminiti died of a drug overdose in 2004.
