Conspiracy Theory #2

MLB owners and management have no power over the Players Union. They knew that through negociation they could not get drug testing approved. Without drug testing they could lost their anti-trust exemption from congress. If they lose that there might be a second 'drug free' league (see the movie Gattaca) Chicks love the long ball....but not when everyone, even pitchers hit 20 dingers a year.

MLB owners and management controlled the leak of information. Notice the order.....First the sacrificial lamb, Giambi, then Bonds the next day. Why wouldn't you lead with Bonds? They wanted Bonds' infraction to 'not be as bad' as Giambi because Bonds puts butts in seats. Giambi is no saint but he did get srewed.
