No way MLB would not have worked with one of their top players who puts fans in seats to allow for treatment for injury. He was cheating and got caught. He has thrown his career away, not lost it.

MLB actually does have provisions in their drug testing policy for special cases. If a player has a medical issue that requires a drug on the banned substances list he can go to MLB and request a specific exception for himself.
