For the first time in 20 years, Major League Baseball will no longer be testing its players for steroids due to the expiration of the sport's drug agreement.

Travis Tygart, chief executive officer of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, told ESPN Monday, "It should be a major concern to all those who value fair play."

This decision comes on the heels of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens both being denied entry into the MLB Hall of Fame after both faced severe accusations of steroid use throughout their career.

MLB and the players union declined comment on the stop in testing.
