Arbitrator who will hear Grievance in bounty case gets fired by the MLB

I cannot find the link, so I'm relying on memory here. He ruled that the urine sample taken from Braun was improperly handled. The sample was taken on a Friday and taken to the tech's home over the weekend instead of to FedEx because FedEx was closed. The MLB rule states that the samples must be directly shipped to the lab and not delayed unless there are special circumstances.

Now, you could argue that there were special circumstances because the sample could not be shipped. But it seems to me that it was stupid to obtain the sample at a time when it could not be shipped immediately. That's a matter of stupidity. It's not as though they took it to the airport but the flight was delayed, or something like that.

The reason for the rule is obvious: the tech could tamper with the sample if it's not shipped immediately. You could argue that it was a technicality, but it really isn't.

So, MLB fired him because he insisted that the rules be followed. I expect he'll be receiving his pink slip from the NFL very soon. We can't have these arbitrators actually insisting that the league follow the rules. :angryrazz:

Edit: I know that I read this on nfl. com--but the story is nowhere to be found now. This would have been around noon EDT. Did anyone else see it?
