02/08: Davidoff: MLBPA Could Have Destroyed Test Results; Reporter Told A-Rod of Story on Thursday
Posted by: Patrick
"The union had the legal right to destroy that list after a certain amount of time, however, and it didn't," Ken Davidoff said, yesterday. "Which is why A-Rod is now forever scarred."
I think that A-Rod is forever scarred because he took steroids, not because the list leaked - but, the point is made. Shouldn't someone be fired over this? Maybe someone already was. The MLBPA is for the players and seemingly protects their interests alone. We heard this offseason about how they might pressure CC Sabathia if he took a dramatically cheaper deal from the Brewers, as opposed to a big money deal to the Yankees. Those types of stories aren't unique. I would think "destroy the list of positive steroid test results" should rank somewhat high on the old to do list, no?
Sam Borden mentioned that the reporter on the SI.com story went to Miami to talk to A-Rod on Thursday. Borden says that this means that A-Rod knew of the report two days before it came out and, yet, seemingly did not tell the Yankees.
Finally, we may as well get this out of the way. Here is the clip from A-Rod's interview with Katie Couric, where he unequivocally denied using steroids, human growth hormone or other performance enhancing drugs.
