I think he is likely cheated... he has admitted to doping when he was with the Rangers, but never has had a positive test since baseball ruled PEDs illegal. He did test positive in 2003 when use of steroids was allowed. So here is a person who maximized his potential with legal products when they were legal and has never tested positive since. He asserts his innocence and insists that he be allowed to play while the investigation and subsequent legal process plays out. His guilt needs to established according to the rules of baseball as negotiated with the players union. If they don't have enough evidence then he walks, or strikes out. That's our system whether it is A-Rod or Zimmerman. A presumption of innocence.
I believe you are correct.

As a die-hard Yankee fan, I truly believe they had nothing to do with his being allowed to play. THEY DON'T WANT HIM!

It is in their best interests to be able to void his contract.
