Most interesting part of the article:

 

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 followed by 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.

"In theory, [the players] could be suspended for five games or 500 games, and we could then choose to challenge that," Weiner said Tuesday before the All-Star Game. "The commissioner's office is not bound by the scale we have in the basic agreement."

Braun is being suspended for 65 games plus the post season, and neither he nor the union is contesting it.
