I think that was the test where if a certain percentage of players tested positive MLB would institute steroid testing and if a player declined to be tested it would lead to a positive result, that year the White Sox declined to be tested because they WANTED testing. I think that that ring was led by Frank Thomas and Paul Konerko, of course the Player's Union later talked them out of it.
