I have long thought that drug testing in the workplace for non-safety reasons was unreasonable, and I have long refused to take such tests. If it's a condition of employment, then I'm not willing to work there. Period.
Here's a possible solution for baseball: No mandatory testing without due suspicion, but a lifetime ban if you're caught.
That might settle both civil liberty and record book issues.
Or not.
By the way, the use of anabolic steroids is illegal. Why aren't those players who test positive, such as Rafael Palmeiro, doing time? Or do the drug laws just apply to regular guys who like the occasional joint while watching SportsCenter?
