MLB, players agree on outside drug administrator?

There’s talk that Major League Baseball and the players union have tentatively agreed on having an outside administrator handle it’s drug-testing policy.

The tentative agreement comes as baseball and its players union continue to work on adopting the recommendations of ex-Sen. George Mitchell’s report on the use of performance-enhancing drugs in the sport.

The agreement would not be a sweeping overhaul of the program, however, as ESPN.com has learned that Dr. Bryan Smith is expected to continue in his role as the independent administrator for the drug testing program.

Well that’s a relief to know there won’t be any sweeping changes, since the previous system worked so well and all. Hopefully this outside administrator isn’t just a front by baseball to show the media and fans that it’s trying to clean up the game, when in fact nothing has really changed.
