Semantics a la baseball

Here's one to ponder this morning ...
Manny Ramirez, he of the 50-game suspension for violating baseball's drug rules, is to begin working out 10 days ahead of the end of his suspension. The workouts include participation in minor-league games.
Apparently it's legal. The collective bargaining agreement allows it. Morally, there is room for some debate. If he starts playing in games 10 days ahead of the end of his suspension, you could make the case that the suspension isn't 50 games after all.
How about some thoughts? The floor is open ....
