The embattled New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez has filed a lawsuit against Major League Baseball and its players' union in a bid to overturn a 162-game doping ban.
The filing claims arbitrator Fredric Horowitz showed partiality in only trimming what had been a 211-game ban to 162 games plus playoffs, suspending the sport's highest-paid player for the entire 2014 season.
The ban is still the longest doping-related suspension in major league history.
Rodriguez also says the Major League Baseball Players Association did not fairly represent him in the arbitration process.
