The Mitchell Report showed a strong and disappointing bias against William Llewellyn and his successful and authoritative treatise on anabolic-androgenic steroids - Anabolics 2007.

It seemingly characterized some of Llewellyn’s steroid descriptions, Deca Durabolin in particular, as the view of a “steroid abuser(s).” He was also unfairly and inaccurately identified by Senator George Mitchell as an advocate of “illegal steroid use by athletes.”

His 1000+ page steroid reference guide was dismissed as “targeted at steroid abusers.”  Bill’s Anabolics 2007 was cited four times in the Mitchell Report in similar contexts.

Clearly, Senator Mitchell doesn’t believe there is a distinction between steroid users and steroid abusers - all steroid use is abuse. And apparently, anyone who writes (non-judgmentally) about steroid use by athletes is also considered a steroid abuser.
