Michael Weiner, the head of Major League Baseball’s Players Union issued the
following statement about the Biogenesis discipline handed down on Monday:
球員工會主席Michael Weiner星期一對於禁藥事件的處置發表聲明:
“The accepted suspensions announced today are consistent with the
punishments set forth in the Joint Drug Agreement, and were arrived at only
after hours of intense negotiations between the bargaining parties, the
players and their representatives.
"今天公布的禁藥處分符合聯合禁藥協定裏的規定，並會在球員與代表談判兩造
協商後的數小時後執行。"
“For the player appealing, Alex Rodriguez, we agree with his decision to
fight his suspension. We believe that the Commissioner has not acted
appropriately under the Basic Agreement. . Mr. Rodriguez knows that the
Union, consistent with its history, will defend his rights vigorously.
"至於要上訴的球員，Alex Rodriguez，我們同意他的決定要反抗這個禁賽，
我們相信MLB主席沒有在基本的協議下作出適當的作為。A-Rod了解工會，
跟過去一樣，我們會努力保障他的權利。"
“The Union’s members have made it clear that they want a clean game. They
support efforts to discipline players, and harshly, to help ensure an even
playing field for all. The players support the Union’s efforts to uphold the
JDA while at the same time guaranteeing that players receive the due process
rights and confidentiality protections granted under the agreement.
"工會成員要澄清一點，我們也希望比賽乾淨。我們支持處分球員，且處分必須嚴厲，
才能保障所有人都能有公平的比賽。球員也支持工會維護聯合禁藥協定的決心，
同時在此協議下，也保障球員能有適當的處置程序與其機密信任保護。"
“Lastly, l want to close by stating our profound disappointment in the way
individuals granted access to private and privileged information felt
compelled to share that information publicly. The manner in which
confidential information was so freely exchanged is not only a threat to the
success and credibility of our jointly administered program; it calls into
question the level of trust required to administer such a program. It is our
view that when the bargaining parties hold their annual review of the
program, we must revisit the JDA’s confidentiality provisions and consider
implementing stricter rules for any breach by any individual involved in the
process.”
"最後，我要對官方公開那些屬於私人隱私機密資訊的方式表示我們嚴重的不滿，
這種讓個人秘密被自由交換的態度，嚴重威脅這項聯合管理協議的成功與其信用。
我們對於管理者被要求遵守的信任標準感到懷疑。以我們的觀點，
在協議雙方的年度檢視禁藥協定的會議中，我們會要求更改有關機密性規定的條款。
並且考慮對於任何侵犯個人權利的程序，制定更嚴格的規定"
