Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig issued the following statement today regarding the announcement that drug testing for Major League Baseball players will begin next season:
"While I am pleased the results of the survey testing show that there is not widespread steroid use in baseball, I am also pleased that the drug testing program negotiated last year as part of the collective bargaining agreement with the Players Association heightened awareness to the dangers of improper drug use and now has allowed us the means to implement the new more comprehensive drug testing and enforcement program. Hopefully, this will, over time, allow us to completely eradicate the use of performance enhancement substances in baseball."
