The Mitchell Report cites there was “insufficient evidence of a violation of the joint program in effect at the time of the conduct in question to warrant discipline of Schoeneweis”.

Here is the full passage regarding Scott Schoeneweis in the Mitchell Report.

On October 1, 2007, ESPN reported on its website that New York Mets pitcher Scott Schoeneweis had received six shipments of steroids from Signature Pharmacy at Comiskey Park while he was playing for the Chicago White Sox in 2003 and 2004. Dr. Ramon Scruggs of the New Hope Health Center (the suspended California physician who also was reported to have issued prescriptions for Troy Glaus) reportedly prescribed the drugs. According to ESPN, Schoeneweis spent $1,160 on steroids, including testosterone and stanozolol. Schoeneweis denied the report. The Commissioner’s Office met with Schoeneweis to discuss these allegations. On December 6, 2007, the Commissioner’s Office announced that there was insufficient evidence of a violation of the joint program in effect at the time of the conduct in question to warrant discipline of Schoeneweis.
