"Arbitrator’s Ruling Banishes the Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez for a Season"

They may be hoping they get an Alex Rodriguez fan, but even then, I’d be surprised if any state court judge would hear his case,” said Steven G. Eckhaus, an employment law expert with the law firm Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft.
Selig suspended Rodriguez last August, citing his “use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited, performance-enhancing substances” over many years. Rodriguez, who admitted to using performance enhancers over a decade ago, when playing for the Texas Rangers, has denied using such drugs since then.
"The way the law works he might play the whole season." Says Yankee fan, Trooper York.

I believe Alex's best argument, in his own defense, that he has never tested positive for PEDs, has been completely undermined by the world's best known PED violator extraordinaire and all around pathological liar, Lance Armstrong. The idea that Alex Rodrigues may not have tested positive for PED's just doesn't carry any weight any more.
