One thing you have to admire about the Commissioner's Office is they will have nothing to do with people who were associated or managed teams with multiple steroid abusers.

Just look at their last three hires: Joe Torre, Tony LaRussa, and Sandy Alderson.

Alright, forget what I said in the top paragraph.

Why are umpires subject to drug testing?

Everyone, including managers are subject to drug testing, in fact Ron Washington failed a drug test four years ago.

My understanding is he has adhered to the provisions of his rehab program, but Brian can legitimately point to Alderson, Torre, and LaRussa and say those three looked the other way when their players became steroid addicts, how come I am treated to another standard, in fact when Selig holds his All-Star game press conference in about a week it would be a great question to ask.
