More than 5 percent of (ML Baseball) players test positive for steroids

NEW YORK, Nov. 13 � More than 5 percent of major league players tested positive for steroids this year, triggering automatic testing starting next season.

Under the labor contract players and owners agreed to last year, all players were tested this year as part of a survey, with the samples not identified by player. The agreement called for mandatory testing to begin the year after any season in which more than 5 percent tested positive.

Starting next March, tests will be given and samples will be identified by player.

I don't know what to say about it, I suggest players take all the steroids they need before March.
