Another interesting thing is that there were rumors of a failed drug test before the All Star Game, but baseball had to wait for the process and any appeals to take place. So he was still eligible for All Star Game.
He went on to win MVP and no doubt had a huge role in determining home-field advantage in World Series this year! Also, Bud Selig probably knew about the failed test as he reluctantly presented the MVP award to Melky.....
There's a whole lot more to this story than the Giants down an outfielder this year. Controversial Batting Title story and home field for WS!
I absolutely hate the idea that an exhibition All Star game decides anything for the World Series, BTW!
Balco's Victor Conte's view (for what it's worth?):
