 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The baseball players' union will fight a federal appeals court's decision to give prosecutors access to the names and urine samples of about 100 players who tested positive for steroids in 2003.
If Wednesday's decision "is allowed to stand it will effectively repeal the Fourth Amendment for confidential electronic records," union head Donald Fehr said in a statement Thursday.
The court's 2-1 ruling could help authorities pinpoint the source of steroids in professional baseball. It also could bolster the perjury case against Giants slugger Barry Bonds, who is under investigation for telling a grand jury he never knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs.
