The List

Let's first start off by telling everyone what the list is, the list as it is commonly referred to is made up of approximately 100 names that tested positive for a performance enhancing drug in the year 2003. These tests were mandate by major league baseball prior to the 2003 season, the results were to be used to prove to the players association that testing in baseball needed to become a part of the collective bargaining agreement which would make steroids and all PEDs illegal in baseball. The results of said tests were suppose to be destroyed after the results were obtained by major league baseball and the list of players who tested positive was to remain anonymous for various reasons.

Having said all that the test results were not destroyed and it is not known who has the full list of players that tested positive. However someone has it and can not keep it to themselves as names leak out more and more as time goes on, the most recent are two of our very own in David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez. The other notables are Sammy Sosa and Alex Rodriguez. Now why is it that these four names have been released while the other 90 some odd names get the privilege of remaining anonymous? 1hoever has this list needs to either release the full list or burn it and leave the rest of the names to live on in peace.

Anyone familiar with any media outlet knows that this list will not be destroyed and will continue to leak out slowly but surely. What fans need to remember is that in 2003 PEDs were not against major league baseball policy, most of them are illegal in the United States which is why this list will undoubtedly be filled with players from countries outside the U.S. like the Dominican Republic.
