I'm curious if Alex Rodriguez could sue the person that leaked the records indicating he had used steroids. The tests were performed under the pretense of being anonymous and solely a means for getting a figure to see if testing and rules should be implemented in the future. If those results were leaked and players exposed, shouldn't the person that leaked the information be held accountable?
The tests were supposed to be anonymous, and it's my understanding that steroids weren't explicitly banned from baseball at the time of the testing, even though I'm pretty certain they are illegal in America.
The most interesting aspect of the whole story is the situation where data that is supposed to be anonymous is later leaked, and whether those exposed are to be held accountable for actions they were supposed to be exempt from, for whatever reason.
