Records of baseball steroid use illegally obtained, says 9th Circuit

By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

The full 11-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that federal agents illegally seized confidential drug-testing records for hundreds of professional athletes during their raid of a a Bay Area lab. The court barred prosecutors from using information from those records in its investigation of illegal steroid sales, upholding orders from three lower-court judges that all subpoenas resulting from those records be quashed.

The test results were connected to an anonymous testing program by professional baseball to determine how widespread the steroid problem had become in the sport. The court's decision ordered the return of those records to the Major League Baseball Players Association.

In the decision, Chief Judge Alex Kozinski included new guidance to law enforcement on how to execute search warrants involving computer databases containing information outside the reach of the court-authorized searches.
