Thank you for explaining job responsibility to me. The fact remains that he knew he was juicing yet insisted on causing a stir which got the tester filed. The test would still have been dirty even if it was handled properly.

This sums it up for me

With $100 of millions of dollars at stake, team in a playoff race (which happens only once every 20 years in Milwaukee), etc he did what he could to get out of it. Did he lie? yes. Was he wrong? yes. Would almost every other athlete of his stature do what he did if faced in the same situation and provided the same legal advice? my guess is in the neighborhood of 95% or more would.

If MLB doesn't leak the information and the public is unaware of the positive test and arbitration process then we wouldn't even be talking about this stuff.
