New information? I really don't see what the Mitchell report added to the discussion aside from his recommendations going forward. The list of players is largely speculative, doesn't include much that we didn't already know, and came almost entirely from one source. I don't see how you could really make a statistical model of the effects of PED usage in baseball without a usefully large data pool to draw from.
