Huh?
Uh, why?
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) - Federal agents have seized urine samples and doping test results for several Major League Baseball players and are expected to re-test them for tetrahydrogestrinone (THG).

San Francisco slugger and single-season home run king Barry Bonds, whose 659 homers are one shy of matching Willie Mays for third on the all-time list, was among those whose samples was confiscated, the New York Times reported Saturday.

The samples were given last year during pre-season training camps, seven months before the existance of THG was revealed, as part of a voluntary program that led to first-ever mandatory steroid tests for major leaguers this season.

Internal Revenue Service agents with search warrants took fewer than 15 samples from Quest Diagnostics laboratory on Thursday in Las Vegas, company spokesman Gary Samuels told the newspaper.
I think I need to re-read this. When I first read it, I thought it said IRS agents took urine samples of basesball players. That couldn't be right.
