I've never understood this... If MLB knew about 104 players who tested positive, why did they ignore those test results?

Doesn't this make the league officials parties to the crime?

Responses:

These were confidential in nature to find out if further legitimate testing would go forward. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:45 4
- From a legal perspective, was a crime commited? Would league or union officials be liable if they could identify the person and did nothing about it? -- nm - mrfuzzy Feb 26, 12:47 3

  - Most likely, but no one here's looking into legality for whatever reasons. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:49 1
    - Here's the deal though...without the promise on anonymity...no player would have agreed to this test under any circumstance. - Jim Feb 26, 12:51
This was the way the league and the union could agree to determine if, in fact, there was a steroid problem in baseball and therefore needed a policy. - Jim Feb 26, 12:45 3

  - How him and Fehr still have jobs after how they basically incriminated every player in their union by being idiots...i have no clue. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 12:46 1
    - It's true - they really have done that. And now the burden of innocence lies on every player. Ridiculous. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 12:48
they were supposed to be confidential under the agreement that allowed for the testing in the first place. -- nm - znufrii Feb 26, 12:43
