6. The Program Should Have Adequate Funding
A meaningful program requires the funding necessary to be effective. It would be
contrary to Major League Baseball’s and the Players Association’s self-interests to deny needed
resources to a truly independent program.

These recommendations are designed to work in combination with one another to
create a new environment, one that is more aggressive in deterring the use of performance
enhancing substances, while still protecting the rights of the players. I believe that the principal
beneficiaries of these reforms will be the majority of major league players who play clean and
follow the rules. These players have been harmed by having to play against violators who
gained an unfair advantage, and further harmed by having the legitimacy of their fairly-earned
accomplishments frequently questioned. The clean major league players deserve far better than
they have had to endure.
