Breaking New: A-Rod tested positive...

I read your link. It doesn't say what you think it said. There's no discussion of anything prior to 2006. That does not mean that there was no policy in place prior to 2006, only that there was no testing. That does not add up to "steroids were legal in baseball prior to the current program."

The 1991 Vincent memo and the 1997 Selig memo spelled out clearly that players and other employees were barred from possessing, selling or using any illegal drug or controlled substance. Anabolic steroids are regulated under Schedule III of the federal Controlled Substances Act and have been since 1991.

Anybody proven to be involved with the steroid trade since Vincent's directive in 1991 (Selig's memo made no changes to Vincent's original directive) could face additional discipline. And it's on the menu: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/...sion_N.htm

Thanks for playing.
