New MLB Drug Policy
MLB has a new drug policy (also in the AP), the key portions of which areHey, Rep. Henry Waxman, why aren't you investigating warrantless wiretapping or prosecution of the Iraq war? Putz.
- All players implicated in December’s Mitchell Report on peformance-enhancing drugs were given amnesty as part of the agreement, which toughens baseball’s drug rules for the third time since the program began in 2002. [How nice of them to eliminate players who were sometimes merely accused of using drugs based on hearsay evidence.]
- The independent administrator, a position created in November 2005, will be given an initial three-year term and can be removed only if an arbitrator finds cause. Until now, he could be fired at any time by either side.
- In addition, the decision over whether a player can be subjected to reasonable-cause testing will remain with management and the union, with any disagreement decided by the sport’s regular arbitrator. Also, a joint management-union body called the Treatment Board will supervise the part of the program relating to drugs of abuse, such as cocaine.
