From the article: Baseball Players Accused Of Using Performance-Enhancing Drugs
In 2003, Major League Baseball tested its players for performance-enhancing drugs for the first time, with the understanding that the results will remain anonymous. After 103 players tested positive, more rigorous testing was put in place, with consequences for positive tests.
Because the list was subpoenaed in the Barry Bonds perjury case, the list was seen by several people outside of baseball, and some of the names - such as Alex Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz - have leaked out.
Should the players' union release all the names, to get the PED crisis behind it?

- Do we need to find out one by one, bringing this back into the forefront every few months, like some wart that won't go away? Or should the league finally make the move any public relations person worth their salt would do: Come clean. This is not a civil rights issue for the dirty players. They went into this believing it would be confidential, but so many of them cheated, and they knew they were cheating when they did it. The best disinfectant for dirty records is sunshine. Let's open it all up.
