I found it interesting that according to ESPN he was the first player suspended form a lead gotten on the confidential tip line that MLB now offers.
He is also according to them the first player suspended who does not have any PHYSICAL evidence such as failed dug test, known association, canceled checks, sworn testimony,etc,etc.,, He was suspended much as sprinters are suspended because the world anti-doping association believes there is enough unproven evidence to suspend. This is part of the new drug deal put in place. Why they do this but no actual drug test to detect HGH (BLOOD TEST) is beyond my understanding.
Having said that I have no idea if he's guilty or innocent-- and I personally feel that he's been told to be quiet by both the union and owners. I think you can fight it if you want but you'll get no support from the union and possibly a longer suspension if you fight it.
