While Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig once again advocated a zero-tolerance drug policy with harsher penalties than the one the league negotiated with the union two years ago

That is the part of this I don't get.

Everyone wants to bash the players union, were there not two sides to the negotiations that got us the current deal?
Had the owners actually wanted tougher rules why didn't they negotiate to get them?
They are just as much to blame as the players.

it's no different than any other part of the agreement, your side wants something, put it on the table and negotiate for it. It's that simple.
