I assume you mean that you can't see the action being overturned. To that I would say "Really?".
I think there is a good chance that he wins in front of an arbitrator... I wouldn't bet the farm on it but it would surprise me not at all. Frankly, I don't think they ought to suspend folk without a positive test. Absent the test it's just one guys word vs. another guys word... that's a pretty low burdon of proof.

And honestly I think this is all one big scam so that the Yankee's can get out from under his contract scott-free. Even if you accept the Biogenisis evidence as sufficant to warrent suspension the scale of the punishment doesn't match prior presidence. I can't see it as anything but Bud Selig trying to slip some extra dineros into the Steinbrenner's pockets.
