Mitchell looks at three different subsections of major league steroid culture: BALCO, the Radomski investigation, and online purchasing like Signature Pharmacies. The thing is, two-thirds of it doesn't really tell us anything new. The BALCO section is a ton of rehash from Game of Shadows and the resulting investigations. Mitchell's own input amounts to, "None of these people would talk to me." There's not any new names in the BALCO section that we haven't heard from somewhere else before. Pretty much the same thing applies to the online purchasing stuff. All the names and information there is stuff we already knew.

That means the one whopper for Mitchell is the Radomski stuff. That section is fascinating with all of the communications between Radomski and the players and the labyrinthine connections between these guys. What really strikes me is that this is just one steroid network in the game. Just by following the links to Kirk Radomski, 53 players were named. How many more guys like Radomski are out there? How many more players?
