I would agree with Kels that there is strict drug testing before the 40 man roster already. First incident 50 game suspension, second out of the game, but there are a lot of loopholes. Players who juice who are either signing bonus babies or are considered top prospects are often placed on the 40 man roster to avoid testing. Also, the practice of having them unavailable for testing is pretty commonplace. It is very interesting that none of the top prospects get caught. I also believe, after having covered the minors for more than a decade, that several of these guys who get caught are being given the stuff that they can't afford with the intent of having them get caught in the testing net, which is supposed to satisfy the media and the public that MLB is doing its job. There is no explanation why some of these guys, particularly low level Dominicans who have been busted, get their hands on drugs that are worth more than they make in a year. They have poor families, and they come from places where the whole town probably couldn't lay its hands on 25,000.

Tyrone-- that sentence you quoted is facktarded- Everyone with a pulse or loves baseball-- we all knew they were cheating bastards- I still like the game-- drugs- GOOD, baseball- GOOD, baseball + drugs + beer = triple GOOD!!!!!!!

right I highly doubt they read the 400 page & more report and there was all kinds of speculation last year of steroid use & baseball park attendence was up along with tv ratings it is this fans belief the game will go on and be better than ever I also look forward to a drug free game I belief mlb management & all envolved with getting baseball drug free will & get rid of those who dont follow the newly enacted rules soon to come
