Court backs tainted ball players

A court has ruled by a large margin that federal agents should not have taken a list of players who tested positive for steroids in 2003.

My favorite judge, Alex Kozinski, said that this was an illegal search and seizer.

Basically in 2003 MLB asked players to voluntarily give urine samples, and told them there would be no penalties associated with these tests. I completely agree with this ruling. It is up to MLB and the players' union to agree on what drug related rules should be enforced. The government had no right to step in and confiscate these samples. By doing so, players will be less likely to be honest in the future, for fear of being outed later on.
