Default Court: Feds Can Have Drug Testing Data

BREITBART.COM - Court: Feds Can Have Drug Testing Data

Breaking story this afternoon.

Court: Feds Can Have Drug Testing Data

By DAVID KRAVETS and PAUL ELIAS
Associated Press Writers
Breitbart.com

Quote:
Government investigators are entitled to the names and urine samples of about 100 Major League Baseball players who tested positive for illegal drug use in 2003, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday.

The court's ruling could bolster the government's perjury case against Barry Bonds if his name is among those who tested positive. The slugger has been the target of a perjury investigation since he testified before a grand jury that he didn't knowingly ingest illegal drugs.

Quote:
Investigators seized computer files containing the test results in 2004 during raids on three labs involved in the Major League Baseball testing program the previous year.
The samples had been collected by the league as part of a survey to gauge the prevalence of steroid use. The results were to be kept secret.

Should we be surprised? The elephant in the corner of the room has been standing there for some time. Don Fehr can no longer avoid addressing the issue. MLBPA has until the next collective bargaining agreement to get the problem under control, or dear heaven, Congress will get involved and legislate the game.
