SELIG SAYS BAN ON ANDRO PREMATURE, STUDY WILL COME FIRST

          MLB Commissioner Bud Selig and the MLBPA "agree that it
     is premature to say what, if anything, they will do about
     androstenedione," according to Murray Chass of the N.Y.
     TIMES.  Selig said that he is "studying the issue" with the
     union.  Selig: "The only thing that concerns me is none of
     this should ever diminish what Mark McGwire did this year"
     (N.Y. TIMES, 10/30).  Yesterday's Toronto Globe & Mail
     reported MLB sources saying that the league would ban andro.
     Members of the committee commissioned by Selig and MLBPA
     Associate General Counsel Gene Orza to study andro are MLBPA
     consultant Dr. Joel Solomon and Player Relations Committee
     consultant Dr. Robert Millman.  The committee will report
     back to Selig in six to 10 weeks (N.Y. POST, 10/30).
