SAN FRANCISCO -- An appeals court ruled that federal agents were wrong to seize the infamous drug list and samples of 104 Major League Baseball players who allegedly tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003. In a 9-2 vote, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed on Wednesday with three lower court judges who chastised investigators who had a warrant for only 10 drug test results as part of the BALCO investigation into Barry Bonds and others. The panel said federal agents trampled on players' protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/story/12116140 Doesn't help those who were outed but it does bring up an interesting scenario on how they can be treated going forward as the information was illegally obtained.
No shit. The players gave piss samples based on the condition that they wouldn't be exposed for it, and then they were which is a total breach of agreement.
Some players have already been accounced when they weren't suppose to, doesn't sound fair to them if the other 100 players on that list don't get accounced too.
It's not fair to them. But life isn't fair. You can't undo what's already been done. The responsibility isn't to the players who have already been uncovered. How many more cliches can I use?
