FBI Warned MLB about steriods ten years ago

``I alerted Major League Baseball back in the time when we had a case, that Canseco was a heavy user and that they should be aware of it,'' Special Agent Greg Stejskal told the Daily News. ``I spoke to the people in their security office, Hallinan was one of the people I spoke to.''
Just another example of the owners looking the other way in order to make more money.

``There's very little question the use of steroids was very widespread in baseball,'' Stejskal told the newspaper. ``And Major League Baseball, in effect, they didn't sanction it, but they certainly looked the other way.''

Its very obvious that people inside MLB knew of this problem.
 
At risk of getting too political for this forum, imagine if all the agents tailing criminal masterminds Jose Canseco, Tupac, and Notorious B.I.G. had worked on stopping terrorism. We don't need to spend our nations money and crime fighting resources to know that Canseco is a strung-out drug abuser and that athletes are taking steroids.

Why are only the owners to blame? The owners can't implement a drug testing policy without the players' union agreeing to it. Now if players were using 'roids, what are the odds they would've ever agreed to drug testing?

The answer is clear, since they STILL aren't testing players to this day...

Where in my post does it say the owners are only to blame? Thats not what I posted, in the context of the article, MLB was made aware of the problems and chose not to address it at that time....10 years ago. Both parties are to blame, but I was addressing the article, not my opinion.
