The baseball union’s executive board will meet next week in an attempt to formulate a voluntary drug-testing program, according to Don Baylor of the New York Yankees, a member of the board.

Newsday quoted Baylor as saying the committee “hopes to have (a program of voluntary testing and rehabilitation) implemented by the start of spring training. We have to have something, because without the joint drug program we had, players have nowhere to go.”
