I get that they had to fight it from a precedent standpoint, but It will be interesting to see how this is handled and how much is disclosed. I'm quite surprised Richards is OK with this. He must feel he has a really good attorney who can successfully seal some of the alleged evidence.

Why exactly would Richards not be okay with this? You make it sound like his involvement in an underground drug ring may be unearthed by the release of facts. Option B would have been being okay with his employer ripping up a contract worth millions of dollars of guaranteed earnings as well as unfairly being branded as a problem player which could influence future employment.
