I just saw this...

I wonder if we will ever get to see this whole list ?

As I posted elsewhere....

… maybe it’s time for that list to be made public, so we don’t have these rumors and lawyers and half-truths about it.

There’s been some suggestion that all past PED users be given amnesty — effective date to be determined, after that there would be severe punishment. There is some merit to this idea.

I agree..

Giving these players amnesty could allow them to open up.

Full disclosure, letting these players help MLB to clear this mess up and promote the hazards of PEDs..

But does anyone have the authority to release the list?

Wouldn’t the players have to consent to their test results being released?

Hey, it's a new century!

Well somebody finally got him

I always knew Sosa was on steroids, but he was really good about getting away with it from an evidence standpoint.

102 names left, I want to see them.

Just say no to players named Aaron on the Cubs.

Isn't it weird that media events have centered around the two names released

Alex Rodriguez: Here comes the book!
Sammy Sosa: Here comes the retirement!

Release the rest, please and let’s just end the speculation.

Need to follow the signed agreement

Yes, as a fan, I would like to know who was “clean” and who wasn’t. And yes, the MLB owners were weak in allowing the 2003 testing to be secret and punishment free. Still, a deal is a deal, especially when it is legally binding. Whoever is leaking this information is in violation of the CBA and other court orders and is asking to be prosecuted. This is not as legally troubling as the leaking of Bonds’ grand jury testimony (which should have led to prison time for the information leakers IIRC), but everyone in this nation needs to feel comfortable that private medical and legal information about them will remain private. We really don’t have that situation right now because of this type of journalism.

This is the best post on this subject I've read all day.

Rec’d. Wish I could double rec it.

indeed

the MLB should have destroyed the evidence when they said they were.

I’m still not sure I believe it anyway. Hearsay is hearsay…

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.
