The SportsFans have spoken and the decision by the people leans in favor of publishing, completely, the list of 104 players that tested positive for performance enhancing drugs in 2003. With a few players including Sammy Sosa, David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez and Alex Rodriguez, the public is thirsty for more.

I've vented my thoughts on performance enhancing drugs in baseball a number of times and would love to see that list in it's entirety. Not to cast stones, but just to know for my own personal knowledge. I'd be more surprised to see whose name wasn't on that list as opposed to the names that are on it. I'm over the whole steroid era, if they used PED's great, if not, great. Time to move on, so just give everyone what they want and show us the list already.
Thanks to permanently scatterbrained for the photo of the JUICED jersey.
The only problem with the list, is I’m sure there’s players on it who didn’t take PEDs (false positives) and likewise players who did juice but aren’t on the list.
I agree, but as an interested party I’d love to see the list in it’s entirety.
There is an expectation in our society that a promise should be a promise and when that promise has the force of law – a judge sealed the list – it needs to be kept. Whoever leaked any of the names violated a court order and should be prosecuted. The players who took that test did so under the promise that the names would never be made public. There are also reports of players refusing to take the test – thereby being listed as a “positive” – so that the number of positive results would be high enough so that MLB would do something. Should those player’s names be dragged through the mud also? The list should have been destroyed and shame on whoever didn’t so that.
