    taken from the above:
    "The commissioner cannot discipline a player simply for refusing to
    talk to Mr. Mitchell if that player could incriminate himself. The
    precedent dates back a quarter-century. In 1980, a pitcher for the
    Texas Rangers, Ferguson Jenkins, was caught with marijuana, hashish
    and cocaine at a Toronto airport. When Mr. Jenkins refused to discuss
    the matter with Bowie Kuhn, then the commissioner, Mr. Kuhn suspended
    him. An arbitrator overturned that suspension, saying Mr. Jenkins, who
    faced criminal prosecution, could not be forced into self-
    incrimination.

    But Mr. Selig could discipline a player if he were to conclude there
    was cause for punishment, which includes any evidence uncovered in the
    federal investigation. Mr. Selig has already acted in such a case:
    Federal agents caught Jason Grimsley, a journeyman pitcher, receiving
    a shipment of human growth hormone last spring. He was subsequently
    suspended for 50 games, then he retired.
    The federal investigators are not likely to prosecute the individual
    players named by Mr. Radomski because those prosecutors generally go
    after dealers, not users. Those players still might decline to talk
    rather than risk incriminating themselves.
    As current players are being called to meet with Mr. Mitchell, a
    battle is beginning in clubhouses across the country over whether Mr.
    Mitchell will receive the players' medical records he has requested.
    So far, the union, the clubs and Mr. Mitchell have not agreed on
    whether those records will be made available. Medical privacy and
    employment rules complicate the issue further.
    "In the end, it will probably be a watered-down version of the records
    that comes out," said one club official involved in the process. "

  3. When a reporter asked what she thought of the judge's decision, a
    visibly angry Kathy Hilton responded: ''What do you think? This is
    pathetic and disgusting, a waste of taxpayer money with all this
    nonsense. This is a joke.''
    -"can I have your autograph"?
