Selig: Giambi Will Talk Or Face Suspension
A report in USA Today says that Bud Selig will suspend New York Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi if he does not cooperate with Sen. George Mitchell’s independent investigation of steroids in baseball.
Giambi, who stated he was “wrong for doing that stuff” in a May interview with USA Today, drew the ire of the commissioner with his comments. Selig publicly recommended that Giambi cooperate with the investigation, and be spared from disciplinary action as a result. Neither Giambi or his agent, Arm Tellem, have disclosed whether or not he will cooperate with the investigation.
Giambi has all but admitted his usage and the gravity of steroids several times over the last few years. Even if he talks to Mitchell, at best it would produce Giambi’s own story, and no real leads on how far steroids reached into clubhouses around the league. You can best believe that if any action comes down for a lack of cooperation, the MLB players’ union will go Jedi on Selig’s empire.
