NEW YORK (AP) -- Baseball players ended decades of opposition to mandatory drug testing Wednesday by agreeing to be checked for illegal steroids starting next year.

The problem is it's volentary the first year and only if they get a 5% failure rate will it become mandatory (after negotiations).

If you're on the stuff, are you going to get in line?

yes, I agree this is a little ridiculous, but I guess who ever doesn't get tested is guilty!
