Sammy Sosa 
According to a New York Times report on June 16, 2009, Sammy Sosa tested positive for steroids in 2003. After not being able to catch on with any teams this season, Sosa recently decided to retire, saying, "I will calmly wait for my induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Don't I have the numbers to be inducted?" Although he finishes his career with 609 home runs, with this report, the Hall may not be very likely.
Manny Ramirez 
Never previously implicated in the steroid scandal, Manny Ramirez was suspended 50 games on May 7, 2009 after a positive drug test. He is expected to blame the results on a medication prescribed by a doctor.
Alex Rodriguez 
A new book says that Alex Rodriguez used steroids as early as high school, and that he continued to use HGH after joining the Yankees. Earlier, it was revealed that Rodriguez was among 104 players who tested positive in what was supposed to be an anonymous and non-disciplinary steroids survey in 2003. He admitted it was true, but had said that the drug use was only during a brief window.
Miguel Tejada 
Implicated in September of 2005 by Rafael Palmeiro, a known steroid user, Miguel Tejada immediately denied the accusation. He was exonerated by the Health Policy Advisory Committee just a short time later, but that did not dispel the questions. Tejada's name was included in the Mitchell Report, which stated that Tejada had received $1,500 worth of steroids.
On Feb. 10, 2009, the All-Star shortstop was charged with lying to Congress about his steroid use. Tejada could face up to a year in prison on the misdemeanor charge of making misrepresentations to Congress, but he has reportedly reached a plea agreement.
Barry Bonds
Barry Bonds has a record-setting seven MVP awards, is a 14-time All-Star and holds both the all-time home run record (with 762) and the single-season HR record (with 73). Still, he has been plagued by allegations and investigations for much of the latter part of his career.
His biggest troubles began in 2003 when his trainer, Greg Anderson, was charged with supplying anabolic steroids to athletes. Bonds admitted he had used clear and cream substances from Anderson but said he believed them to be flaxseed oil and a rubbing balm for arthritis.
On Nov. 15, 2007, Bonds was indicted on perjury and obstruction of justice charges for his testimony during the BALCO investigation. His trial will begin March 2, 2009.
Senator George Mitchell
A baseball fan and one-time front office director for the Boston Red Sox, Senator George Mitchell was chosen by MLB Commissioner Bud Selig to investigate performance-enhancing drug use by baseball players. His 409-page report was released on Dec. 13, 2007. It implicates 89 former and current players.
Kirk Radomski
After pleading guilty to money laundering and illegal distribution of anabolic steroids, human growth hormone, Clenbuterol, amphetamines and other drugs, Kirk Radomski faced a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison and a $500,000 fine. Instead, he cooperated with the federal government and received five years probation and had to pay just $18,575. Radomski's allegations fueled much of the Mitchell Report.
Greg Anderson
A former college baseball player who knew he would never be able to make it in the pros, Greg Anderson instead became a trainer. He reportedly began supplying Barry Bonds with performance-enhancing drugs as early as 1998.
In 2005, Anderson pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute steroids and to money laundering and was sentenced to three months in prison and three months home confinement. In 2006, he was found in contempt of court after refusing to testify during a grand jury hearing investigating perjury charges against Bonds. He was held in jail for 25 days, released, again found in contempt and imprisoned once more, this time for around 15 months. Anderson was finally released just hours after Bonds was indicted by a federal grand jury on four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice.
Jose Canseco
Jose Canseco's 2005 book "Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big" fueled the fire over steroid use in the league. He claimed that up to 85 percent of major league players took steroids and identified many players as users.
He admitted to his own steroid use in grand jury testimony during the BALCO investigations.
Mark McGwire
Although he was celebrated during his lengthy baseball career and feted after hitting a then-record 70 home runs during the 1998 season, Mark McGwire has since suffered major fallout due to steroid accusations. He has never admitted to using steroids and has repeatedly refused to discuss steroid use, including in 2005 when he appeared before the House Government Reform Committee. Still, while he previously seemed to be a Hall of Fame lock, McGwire received less than a quarter of the vote when his eligibility began in 2006-07.
Roger Clemens
When Roger Clemens' name was first tied to steroid use by Jose Canseco, the pitcher shrugged it off. When allegations continued to be made -- including those by pitchers Jason Grimsley and good friend Andy Pettitte -- scrutiny increased on the famed player.
Due to claims by former Yankees trainer Brian McNamee, Clemens took up a major part of the Mitchell Report. His name was mentioned a total of 82 times. Clemens steadfastly denied using steroids, releasing evaluations of his year-to-year performances and appearing before a Congressional committee.
Clemens now is being investigated for possible perjury.
Jason Grimsley
Looking for proof he was distributing HGH and steroids, federal officials raided Jason Grimsley's home in 2006. This wasn't the first time Grimsley had been tied with performance-enhancing substances, as he had failed a drug test in 2003 and had confessed to using HGH and steroids as early as 1998 to help rehab from a shoulder injury. After starting to use, his ERA dropped by a run and his salary skyrocketed.
Following the raid, Grimsley cooperated with federal investigators and named players he knew to be drug users.
Because of his admitted violation, if Grimsley ever signs a contract with a major league team and is placed on a 40-man roster, he immediately will be suspended 50 games.
Ken Caminiti
In 2002, one year after retiring from baseball, Ken Caminiti admitted to a reporter that he had used steroids. He revealed that he began using performance-enhancing drugs in 1996, the year he was named the National League MVP, and had continued for several seasons after that. It marked the first time a professional baseball player had publicly admitted his steroid use and contributed to the fervor over the subsequent steroids scandal that swept through the baseball world.
Caminiti died of a drug overdose-induced heart attack on Oct. 10, 2004. He had struggled with alcohol- and cocaine-abuse for a long time.
Jason Giambi
In 2003, Jason Giambi was named as one of the players to whom Greg Anderson gave steroids. He spoke before a grand jury, and while that testimony was not officially released, leaks revealed that Giambi had admitted to steroid use during the offseasons from 2001 to 2003. Giambi made an official apology to the public and urged others to come clean as well.
Giambi's younger brother, Jeremy Giambi, also admitted to using steroids. Both were named in the Mitchell Report.
Andy Pettitte
Andy Pettitte was connected to steroids in 2006 when his name was reportedly included in an affidavit by former teammate Jason Grimsley. While it was later revealed that Grimsley did not finger Pettitte, the lefty was in the Mitchell Report. Brian McNamee, a former Yankees trainer, said he injected Pettitte with HGH on two-to-four occasions in 2002. Pettitte later admitted using HGH. While MLB had no rules prohibiting HGH use at that time, it was illegal to use without a prescription.
In a 2008 affidavit, the Yankees pitcher said Roger Clemens had told him he had used HGH as well.
Paul Byrd
When pitcher Paul Byrd was accused of using human growth hormone to improve his baseball performance, he did not deny taking the drug. Instead, he justified it by revealing he had a tumor on his pituitary gland and saying that the drugs were part of his treatment.
Paul Lo Duca
Along with telling George Mitchell that he had sold steroids to Paul Lo Duca, Kirk Radomski produced three checks from Lo Duca as proof. Those checks added up to $3200.
Lo Duca additionally was accused of introducing players like Adam Riggs, Kevin Brown, Eric Gagne and Matt Herges to steroids.
Curt Schilling
While Curt Schilling has never been implicated in baseball's steroid scandal, in 2005 he was called to testify before a Congressional committee. Schilling has been a vocal opponent of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball and has called both for Jose Canseco's statistics to be erased and for Roger Clemens' Cy Young Awards to be stripped.
Rafael Palmeiro
In Jose Canseco's infamous book "Juiced," he named former Texas Rangers teammate Rafael Palmeiro as a fellow steroids user. Canseco even claimed that he personally injected Palmeiro.
Under oath at a Congressional hearing in 2005, Palmeiro emphatically denied using ever steroid. Less than five months later, he was suspended for 10 days after testing positive for stanozolol. Still, the Congressional committee opted not to seek perjury charges against the first baseman
Gary Sheffield
When Gary Sheffield suffered ripped stitches from a knee surgery while working out with Barry Bonds in 2001, a trainer applied a cream to help it heal. It was later revealed that the cream included steroids. Sheffield repeatedly denied any knowledge about what the cream contained and pointed to statistical evidence proving it did not improve his numbers.
Sheffield was mentioned in 2007's Mitchell Report
Eric Gagne
Just days after signing a one-year, $10-million deal with the Milwaukee Brewers to become their new closer, Eric Gagne was identified in the Mitchell Report and accused of receiving human growth hormone from Kirk Radomski.
Gary Matthews Jr.
In February of 2007, Albany's
Times Union newspaper broke the story about a steroid ring that spanned four states and involved a number of prominent clients. Gary Matthews Jr., who had hit for the cycle in 2006, was named as one of the people who allegedly purchased performance-enhancing drugs. His new team, the Los Angeles Angels, reportedly threatened to void his five-year, $50 million contract if he did not respond to the allegations, and Matthews subsequently denied the charges that he had used HGH.
John Rocker
When a major steroid ring was busted in March 2007, John Rocker's name was included on their client list. The pitcher subsequently admitted to using HGH, claiming it was for medical reasons, but he flatly denied receiving it from the pharmacy involved in the scandal.
Jose Guillen
Just hours after passing a physical exam for his new contact with the Kansas City Royals, Jose Guillen was hit with a 15-game suspension to be applied at the start of the 2008 season for reportedly buying nearly $20,000 worth of steroids and HGH from 2003 to 2005. That suspension was rescinded before the season began when all players implicated in the Mitchell Report were given amnesty.
Brian Roberts
After first denying claims that he had injected himself with steroids in 2003, Brian Roberts later admitted to using the performance-enhancing drugs just once. Roberts asserted that he immediately knew taking steroids did not fit with the standards to which he held himself and vowed it had never impacted his game.
Rick Ankiel
When Rick Ankiel was called up to the major leagues as an outfielder in 2007, his became a feel-good story. Ankiel had started his baseball career as a pitcher but developed a major case of the yips in the playoffs during his rookie season and found himself unable to consistently throw strikes. He abandoned pitching in 2005 and worked his way up in the outfield.
Ankiel's story was tarnished, however, when he admitted to using HGH on doctor's orders after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Still, HGH was not banned by baseball at the time, and he was cleared of any wrongdoing by MLB officials.
David Justice
When questioned for the Mitchell Report, although David Justice emphatically denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs himself, he was willing to name players he suspected of using. He did admit that he had no direct knowledge or proof of their steroid use, however. Justice's claims contradicted reports by Kirk Radomski and Brian McNamee that Radomski had provided Justice with HGH.
Kevin Brown
One of a number of players implicated as steroid users while competing for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Kevin Brown was in the Mitchell Report. Convicted steroids distributor Kirk Radomski presented an Express Mail receipt from 2004 that seemed to support his claims that he shipped something to Brown. Additional incriminating evidence against Brown was revealed from an internal note from a Dodgers executives meeting in which they wrote "Steroids suspected by GM."
When this information was released, LA Times sportswriter Bill Plaschke speculated that Brown's noted temper tantrums could have been due to "'roid rage."
Lenny Dykstra
In 2005, a former business partner sued Lenny Dykstra over his ownership stake in a cash wash business. In lawsuit documents, the partner not only accused Dykstra of gambling on major league baseball games but also provided a sworn statement from a bodybuilder who claimed he had injected Dykstra with steroids many times.
Dykstra subsequently was included in the Mitchell Report. It reported that the Commissioner of Baseball's office had been aware of his use of performance-enhancing drugs since 2000.
Chuck Knoblauch
Both Brian McNamee and Jason Grimsley fingered Chuck Knoblauch as a user of HGH, and the former second baseman was mentioned both in the Mitchell Report and in Grimsley's unsealed affidavit.
When a subpoena for Knoblauch was issued by a Congressional committee in late January 2008, federal marshals initially were unable to find him to deliver it. When he was tracked down, he agreed to give a deposition and the subpoena was withdrawn.
Mo Vaughn
Plagued by injuries, Mo Vaughn didn't play a single game in the 2001 baseball season. It was because of that slow recovery that a trainer reportedly suggested he take HGH.
Kirk Radomski claimed he provided Vaughn with HGH kits and produced three checks signed by Vaughn to Senator George Mitchell as proof. Mitchell requested a meeting with Vaughn to discuss the allegations before the Mitchell Report was released, but Vaughn declined.
Todd Hundley
When Todd Hundley moved from the New York Mets to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1999, he took the phone number for Kirk Radomski, who had provided him with anabolic steroids, with him. The catcher reportedly introduced new teammate Paul Lo Duca to Radomski, and Lo Duca subsequently introduced four other players.
Scott Schoeneweis
Scott Schoeneweis' name was first publicly tied to the steroid scandal in a 2007 TV report. It claimed the pitcher had received six steroid shipments from 2003 to 2004. Schoenewis denied any knowledge of the pharmacy that had reportedly sent the drugs. In a later meeting with the Commissioner's Office, Schoeneweis said he had used steroids to treat testicular cancer but that his teams were aware of the medical reasons for his use and that the levels used were within the limits established by the collective bargaining agreement. Officials determined there was insufficient evidence of a violation to warrant discipline.
Jim Leyritz
In a 2006 newspaper interview, Jim Leyritz admitted that he had turned to HGH to help him recover from shoulder surgery in between the 2000 and 2001 seasons. That year he also admitted to using amphetamines as a pick-me-up after late nights out drinking with teammates.
Troy Glaus
Three months before the Mitchell Report was released in 2007, sources revealed that Troy Glaus, a former World Series MVP, had received nandrolone and testosterone through an illegal internet distribution network. Both substances were on MLB's banned list at the time. Glaus had received prescriptions for the drugs from a pharmacist who was on probation and was not allowed to do internet sales.
Glaus' name was included in the Mitchell Report.
Fernando Vina
In the Mitchell Report, Kirk Radomski stated that Fernando Vina had purchased anabolic steroids and HGH from him six-to-eight times from 2000 to 2005. Not only was Vina's contact information found in Radomski's address book, but Radomski also had three checks from Vina.
While Vina later admitted to using HGH in 2003 to aid his recovery from injuries, he denied using steroids and denied purchasing anything from Radomski.
Benito Santiago
Benito Santiago, a former catcher who competed for 10 teams from 1986 to 2005, is an admitted steroid and HGH user. During his testimony in front of the BALCO grand jury, he claimed he had received undetectable drugs from Greg Anderson.
His involvement in the steroid scandal was catalogued in
Game of Shadows, the book written by two San Francisco Chronicle reporters.
