Atlanta Braves Statement on the Mitchell Report

12/13/2007 -- Atlanta Braves president John Schuerholz issued the following statement today in response to the report issued by Senator George Mitchell:

"With the release of Senator Mitchell's report and Commissioner Selig's comments on behalf of Major League Baseball, we mark a significant moment in baseball history.

For too long, all of us -- players, teams, media and especially our great fans -- have had to hear and read constantly about the issue of use and abuse of performance-enhancing substances.

We believe the Mitchell Report will allow us to move forward and continue the progress we have seen since Major League Baseball's drug-testing program began in 2002.

Now we can look forward to a new day in baseball when we can focus on and enjoy this great game and the talented players who play it."
