MLB drug testing is a joke. First of all, we never hear about players being tested even though each and every player is supposed to be tested once at random during the year. If a player is presented with a test he has a lot of low-cost options to avoid taking the test, protest the test, and otherwise argue with the system. Players should be tested several times throughout the year by a third party not directly affiliated with MLB, perhaps the US Anti-Doping Agency. The fines and suspensions have to be more serious as well because they're a joke right now. It should be _illegal_ to take performance enhancing drugs in sport, not just a violation of league rules. Criminal procedures need to go into motion once tests are positive.
