5. The Program Should Continue to Respect the Legitimate Rights of Players
While I believe that changes are necessary to make the drug testing program more
effective, there is nothing inconsistent between my recommendations and continued respect for
the legitimate privacy and due process rights of players. The principles upon which I have based
my analysis of the current program and my recommendations require that an effective drug
testing program recognize the legitimate privacy and due process rights of all players. Although
there obviously have been some differences and disagreements in recent years, the parties
generally appear to have respected players’ rights, and I recommend that any changes to the
program in the future continue to recognize and respect the legitimate rights of players.
