As rumors swirl that Major League Baseball is close to dispensing punishment in the Biogenesis case, the head of the Players Association said it's possible the players involved will not serve their penalties until the 2014 season. Michael Weiner, the union's executive director, said he expects MLB to present its findings to the Players Association "within the next month." Given the potential length of an appeal process for the players involved, Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun, Nelson Cruz and the other principal players in the Biogenesis investigation could be in limbo into the offseason. Weiner also said the commissioner's office isn't bound by the terms of the joint drug prevention and treatment program -- which calls for 50- and 100-game suspensions and a lifetime ban for three failed drug tests -- because the players involved in the Biogenesis case did not fail tests and are being investigated for "non-analytical" reasons.
