The results aren't made public unless a player tests positive twice. A first positive test results in treatment, while a second positive result would lead to a fine or suspension, and the player's name would be made public.

Yeah, so even if he tests positive, nobody will know. It's such a weak, weak steroid policy the MLB puts in place. What sort of 'treatment' does a steroid-user need? They treat it like a recreational drug abuse case.

This sort of testing won't count for anything until MLB introduces random out-of-competition tests, so that these guys are checked on during their offseasons, and announces the results of all tests, not just repeat offenders.
