The No-Win question

[Pavelb1]

I don't believe any of the players or teams knew what players failed the tests in question about A-Rod. It was used for numbers sake only....or so I thought.

Ok...so 'notified the players of the results' was just a % figure.

never saw that. from what I had heard of everything from theses reports, and SI's whole thing appeared to me, that none of the players or owners knew about who failed.

2. Arn't ALL non-national security records subject to subpeona? Does that mean it's illegal to destroy my grocery list?

Poor choice of words on my part. The quote from the article I linked to was: "we learned that the government had issued a subpoena."

And again how in the world can Posada answer "I hope not"?

Poor choice of words on his part, probably stemming out of never being in any controversies and not having learned how specific you have to be when asked that kind of question.

He later called the reporter back and clarified: ""I have never done it. Let me make myself clear: I will never be positive. I don't take anything. I've never tested positive in anything and I never will."

Yeah, I believe that's the case. From what I've read the players were notified in "a memo" from the MLBPA. That implies that they all MLB players got the same memo, which probably just said what the results of the "survey test" were (what percentage of the results were positive) and how that affected upcoming testing.
