PTs ousted from the dugout
Rehab Regs, March 5, 2004
Major League Baseball (MLB) plans on enforcing its two-year-old rule prohibiting physical therapists and personal trainers from working with their big-league clients in restricted areas such as playing fields, dugouts, clubhouses and trainers' and doctors' rooms, according to USA Today. The decision came in the wake of a federal investigation of San Francisco Giant Barry Bonds' personal trainer, who was one of four people indicted on charges of distributing steroids to professional athletes. The MLB has decided to not leave enforcement of this rule to individual teams. Starting this season, only the players' immediate relatives will be allowed in restricted areas.
