Yes, the report seems impartial to me, though flawed because it records so much hearsay information. Apparently no bit of gossip was too trivial to find its way into the report. I was just looking at ESPN's list of implicated players, which includes some that I'd long suspected -- like Clemens and Jose Guillen -- yet the majority are small-timers like Marvin Bernard, whose use had already been publicized. Apparently it didn't help players all that much. There's a mention of some Sox pitcher named Paxton Crawford spilling "some syringes he had wrapped in a towel ... onto the floor of the Red Sox clubhouse, which he said caused laughter among his teammates." The funniest moment for me, though, had to be Gagne getting on the phone with a steroid dealer and asking him "how to get air out of a syringe." Not too bright, that Gagne.
