Major League Baseball stops testing players for steroid use

Posted on February 7, 2022February 7, 2022 by Santiago Leon
Major League Baseball has stopped steroid testing for the first time in nearly 20 years due to the expiration of the drug agreement, a move the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency says causes concern to “those who value fair play.”

The people spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because no public announcement was made.

The halt in testing is a casualty of the sport’s lockout that started Dec. 2 and a provision in the joint drug agreement between MLB and the players’ association that states “the termination date and time of the program shall be 11:59 p.m. ET on Dec. 1, 2021.”
