If a baseball player is on his first positive test, what will happen to him?

After a series of drug scandals, this was Major League Baseball’s chance to demonstrate its determination to crack down on the cheaters. The sports commissioner said the aim was to restore baseball fans’ confidence in the game, but the new penalties for players who test positive for drugs fall far short of those in other sports. A first time offence brings a ban of just ten days; only with a fifth positive test is that extended to twelve months.
   It is all in sharp contrast to many Olympic sports where any positive drug test triggers a two-year ban. The head of the baseball players’ union, Don Fehr, said the new regime of drug testing and penalties would work. He stressed that the aim was to end steroid abuse rather than to punish players.
