Statement from San Francisco Giants' Peter A. Magowan Regarding Mitchell Report

12/13/2007 -- San Francisco Giants President and Managing General Partner Peter A. Magowan issued the following statement today on behalf of the organization.

"The Giants supported Commissioner Selig's decision to appoint Senator George Mitchell to conduct an independent investigation into the use of performance enhancing drugs in our sport. We shared the Commissioner's view that an independent and thorough investigation was a necessary step in the overall effort to combat the serious problem of performance-enhancing drug use in baseball. Our organization has diligently and fully cooperated with Senator Mitchell throughout his inquiry. We believe that Senator Mitchell's thoughtful and comprehensive report will serve as a meaningful tool in the fight against the use of performance-enhancing drugs. The Report clearly demonstrates the pervasiveness of the problem. The Giants accept our fair share of responsibility. Our entire organization, from front office to field staff, pledges to work closely with Commissioner Selig and Senator Mitchell to implement the Report's recommendations and to institute whatever reforms are necessary to restore confidence in the integrity of the game."
