Union to challenge MLB blood testing
With Major League Baseball officials planning to push for blood testing for human growth hormone next season, there is no guarantee it will pass with the players association. Two veteran Rockies players - relievers Matt Herges and LaTroy Hawkins - provided a glimpse Thursday about why the issue will be the subject of intense debate before making it into the collective bargaining agreement. Both want the sport clean, but predicted the union would proceed with caution.

That picture practically screams, "What! Me worry?"
Wow, the union will go to great lengths to protect the dirty portion of its membership? I'm shocked. It's about time for the clean players, (hell are there any?) to stand up and take back their union.
Who among them will be the peoples champion to bring the game back to us, the fans?
I'll wager that the MLBPA will try to collectively bludgeon this to death, Bud Selig will cry secretly to Congress, and then some half-arsed plan will be hatched that will cause an anonymous test period where if more than 82% of players test positive, a mandatory testing program will begin the following year..... Deja Vu.

They need hair samples & blood-tests taken to prove they are clean. And if you aren't cleared to play you don't play until you have been & if you refuse you don't play. Either the MLB Players agree to it or Congress forces them to. Congress should have done it initially & not allowed MLB to handle it w/o any teeth!! The athletes that are against it are only hiding behind the union. Similar to when Sammy Sosa was asked to take a drug test & he said that he would do it on the spot, but after someone got in his ear & he declined to oblige the response & thereafter claimed he couldn't speak English.. how convenient!!

Congress shouldn't even be involved. We have more important things affecting the state of affairs in this country than illegal drug use in sports.
If a gov't agency needs to be involved, lessee....FBI? DEA? These are ILLEGAL DRUGS being abused. Seems they would have more jurisdiction than a bunch of codgerly old white men with their thumbs up their rear ends. (Insert Sen. Craig joke here)
