Mitchell Report Implicates US Energy Use in Steroid Scandal

george mitchellMany of the names released in the report issued by George Mitchell, commissioned by Major League Baseball to investigate steroid use, were unsurprising. One surprising allegation is that US Energy Use, which noticeably increased in size the last few years, has been using.

“Many of the players contained in this report were expected,” Mitchell wrote. “But one that was unexpected, despite the fact that it had increased by far the most in size is US Energy Usage. Investigations suggest they are continuing to use a special designer steroid, which we have dubbed “coal”, or, consuming at obnoxious levels.” Mitchell went on to detail explicit evidence to support his findings.

“It is well know that one can obtain a high level of performance without using these substances,” Mitchell says in his conclusion, “but often players wish to take the easy way out. In the long run, a growing body of scientific evidence says that these are very harmful to health, and as a society, we must be very concerned for the next generations, which will look back to the example we set now, and will have to deal with the consequences.”

It was a biting critique of the use of this substance, “coal”, but Mitchell had no subpoena power to delve deeper, nor any authority to issue binding ramifications–it was merely an investigation. It will be up to politicians and grassroots pressure to decide how to deal with US Energy Usage.
