I agree with Mick in principle, that it can be very difficult to know what is and is not a steroid/banned substance (particularly in the realm of steroid precursors).
In addition, it's tough for the public to interpret all of this. We either notice someone not dressing for 10 consecutive games (unless they're on the Cubbies - then we automatically assume DL, not steroids) or information is "leaked" to the press. In either case, we don't know for what substance the player tested positive.
However (this being where I must disagree with Mick), MLB players need to be aware, and need to realize that if there's even a remote chance of a substance resulting in a positive test, they should stay away from it.
The cynic in me did come out today, though. Selig must be salivating over the fact that a big fish finally tested positive.
