Was revealed recently that MLB and the USADA (US Anti-Doping Agency) are teaming up together in regards to an investigation into the roids allegation report by Al Jazeera. NFL not asking for USADA's help but are holding a seperate investigation into the same claims.
At the moment, MLB believes in some truth to the allegations due to at least one player admitting to taking roids.

Sly released a statement after the documentary saying he had fabricated the information, and two MLB players he had named, the Phillies' Ryan Howard and the Nationals' Ryan Zimmerman, filed lawsuits against Al Jazeera America, which has since declared it will shut down. But the documentary also recorded an exchange with Sly and minor league catcher Taylor Teagarden, who spent eight games with the Cubs last season, in which Teagarden talks about receiving banned substances from Sly. Perhaps Sly exaggerated or fabricated some claims, investigators believe, but clearly not all.

Also being implied the NFL might not be as aggressive as the MLB if actual evidence if found due to their poor reputation with roids fighting.
