The court of appeals affirmed in part and dismissed in part orders of the district court. The court held that the government had no independent basis to retain seized drug-test results of professional athletes other than those of ten particular athletes who were specified in a search warrant.

Urine samples would be anonymously and confidentially collected and each would be tested for banned substances. If enough players tested positive, additional testing would be done.
