The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit recently issued an en banc

opinion in United States v. Comprehensive Drug Testing, Inc., No. 05-10067 (9th Cir., August

26, 2009), affirming a series of lower court rulings granting motions for the return of

seized property. The motions, which were filed by Comprehensive Drug Testing, Inc., a

testing lab, and the Major League Baseball Players Association, attacked search warrants

that were issued as part of the government’s high-profile investigation into alleged

steroid use by professional athletes.
