Donald Fehr Leaving Position As MLB Players Union Chief

One of the controversial figures in baseball's steroid scandal is about to exit stage right. Donald Fehr who has served as the chief of the MLB Players Union since 1985 will leave the position today. He will be replaced by general counsel Michael Wiener.

Fehr has taken a lot of flack over the last decade for turning a blind eye to the steroid scandal that wreaked havoc on baseball through the 1990's when stars such as Mark McGwuire, Roger Clemens, Rafeal Palemario, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds and more either tested positive for steroids or committed perjury in front of Congress and the world by denying their use of the drugs.
