KFDM COOP Posted May 23, 2007 Report Posted May 23, 2007 Astros fail the least amount of drug tests in MLBFrom Sports Illustrated:According to Major League Baseball's list of 174 failed drug tests, which was obtained by SI.com, the Mariners organization has the most failed tests: 13 since 2005, the first year negative test results brought suspensions. The Mets' organization is second with 10 failed tests, followed by Texas with nine and Oakland, San Francisco, San Diego, the Cubs and Yankees with eight apiece. Every organization has had at least one failure. But the award for the fewest failures goes to Houston and Boston, with just one apiece, followed by Milwaukee and Florida, with two each, and Detroit, Tampa Bay and Washington with three failures.One revelation from the testing has been the surprising prevalence of usage among pitchers compared to hitters. Pitchers have accounted for 97 failures to 77 for all position players. Only 16 tests were failed by major leaguers; minor leaguers accounted for the remaining 158.The last two years, when failures were separated into drug-type categories, 45 failures were due to performance-enhancing drugs, nine to drugs of abuse and one for a failure to test.
