Michael Weiner, the head of Major League Baseball’s Players Union issued the
following statement about the Biogenesis discipline handed down on Monday:
球员工会主席Michael Weiner星期一对于禁药事件的处置发表声明:
“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.
"今天公布的禁药处分符合联合禁药协定里的规定，并会在球员与代表谈判两造
协商后的数小时后执行。"
“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.
"至于要上诉的球员，Alex Rodriguez，我们同意他的决定要反抗这个禁赛，
我们相信MLB主席没有在基本的协议下作出适当的作为。A-Rod了解工会，
跟过去一样，我们会努力保障他的权利。"
“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.
"工会成员要澄清一点，我们也希望比赛干净。我们支持处分球员，且处分必须严厉，
才能保障所有人都能有公平的比赛。球员也支持工会维护联合禁药协定的决心，
同时在此协议下，也保障球员能有适当的处置程序与其机密信任保护。"
“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.”
"最后，我要对官方公开那些属于私人隐私机密资讯的方式表示我们严重的不满，
这种让个人秘密被自由交换的态度，严重威胁这项联合管理协议的成功与其信用。
我们对于管理者被要求遵守的信任标准感到怀疑。以我们的观点，
在协议双方的年度检视禁药协定的会议中，我们会要求更改有关机密性规定的条款。
并且考虑对于任何侵犯个人权利的程序，制定更严格的规定"
