The cynic in me did come out today, though. Selig must be salivating over the fact that a big fish finally tested positive.

Mark,
I do not disagree with taking caution, but all *guilty* athletes do not test positive and all *innocent* athletes do not test negative.
Selig gains nothing by having a star player test positive, because baseball loses fans.
Palmeiro gains nothing by using a product with steroids, or whatever substance
they will not declare, on his last year and after his milestone *3,000th* hit. Nothing!
Palmeiro can only go along with the punishment without challenges, take the force-fed high road [for the sake of the game], and be as full of humility as possible so the door to Cooperstown isn't slammed in his face.
