The Mitchell Report also stated that interviews were requested of five MLB players who had spoken out publicly on the steroid issue. Of these players, only one, Frank Thomas, was willing to be interviewed. The Mitchell Report categorically stated that there was no evidence that any of these five had used performance-enhancing drugs. Curt Schilling, one of the four players who declined to interview with Mitchell, explained that he denied Mitchell's request because he “would have nothing to offer” Mitchell’s investigation “other than personal opinion and hypotheticals.”cite news|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/15/sports/baseball/15talk.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin |title=One Player Who Spoke With Mitchell Wonders Why So Few Others Did |first=Jack |last=Curry |authorlink=Jack Curry |publisher="The New York Times" |date=2007-12-15 |accessdate=2008-01-02]
