As I understand it, the reason why the Players' Union didn't destroy the list immediately, as they were supposed to, was because they spent so much time trying to get players REMOVED from it. When they received the list, they fought every name, defending each player and their positive tests (claiming false positives, OTC drugs, prescription drugs, etc). The way I heard the story, the original list was more than 104 players.
In fighting to get players removed from the list, the list was never destroyed.
Or something like that.
And Jeff, yes, in order to have a level playing field, everyone would have to be doing it. That's exactly what I'm implying.
