MLB Stiffens Drug Testing Rules
Major League Baseball taken its first steps toward implementing the recommendations of former Senator George Mitchell regarding drug abuse in the sport by eliminating a 24-hour notice of drug testing and imposed background checks on clubhouse personnel, subjecting clubhouse personnel to random drug tests, logging all packages sent to major league clubhouses, and banning personal trainers from locker rooms.
The Mitchell report identified over 80 players, including Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, and Miguel Tejada as using steroids, human growth hormone, or other drugs.
