 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Steroids investigator George Mitchell sent letters to major leaguers asking them to contact him with anything they might know about the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Both the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers received the letters Friday from the former Senate Majority Leader who is leading the probe into steroids for commissioner Bud Selig. The memos were handed out by the clubs, and other teams apparently also got the same letter.
"It's encouraging any player that if you have any information about steroids, feel free to contact Senator Mitchell," said Giants' player representative Randy Winn. "He said steroid use is illegal and he is working to get as much information to handle the issue. It's just a request to contact him instead of waiting for him to make contact. I'm assuming it was a coordinated effort and they're all going out today."
