You might want to reread it.

Biogen Idec Inc. refused even later on Thursday to give the permission for Fred Baron to use its drug citing the high regulatory risks of giving an individual special access to Tysabri. The company resisted appeal from former president Bill Clinton and Lance Armstrong, a cancer survivor.

exactly what I was thinking...the drug company should have given it to him on the condition he first make a commercial confessing the evils of trial lawyers who have attacked drug companies.
