MLBPA feels vindicated

The MLBPA released a statement on Wednesday and as usual seemed a little haughty considering so many of its members are drug abusers, as least according to U.S. law.

"Today the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, sitting en banc, ruled in favor of the Players Association in the litigation regarding the government's seizure of the 2003 testing records," Donald Fehr and Michael Weiner said in a joint statement.

"The Court has affirmed lower court rulings that the seizure of individual 2003 testing records violated the constitutional rights of the Players and of the Players Association. Anyone who leaks information purporting to contain those 2003 test results is committing a crime.

"We are very gratified by this decision, and hope that this will finally bring this long
litigation to a close."

No question leaking the names is against the law. Of course, so is taking the steroids in the first place but now we are just being picky right guys?
