Fair enough. But apparently when the Yankees thought about enforcing the terms of the UPC against Giambi, their attorneys told them to not even waste their money. Why do you suppose that is?

the punishment would violate a separate agreement from the drug law and would lead to a strike or problems within major league baseball. a few mill is not worth a few bill.

If you look deeper, you’ll find that Giambi’s agent had the word ‘steroids’ taken out of his Uniform Player Contract when it was originally signed, and the Yankees were just fine with that, because they knew the score. So the whole story about them possibly voiding that contract was a sham, the Yankees were in on it. And that’s one of the biggest problems with this whole mess, the teams, the players, and the Commissioner’s Office have all known this was going on for years, and they let it happen knowingly. So everyone is dirty, which makes it hard for anyone to point any fingers.
