"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\n\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) -- Baseball players' union head Michael Weiner says toughening penalties for drug violations will have to wait until the 2014 season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   \"There are going to be talks. I don't what the result is going to be,\" he said Sunday after meeting with the Baltimore Orioles as part of his tour of the 30 spring training camps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   The current sanctions have been in place since the 2006 season: 50 games for a first offense, 100 for a second and a lifetime ban for a third. Selig held a news conference Saturday and said he wanted increased penalties as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   \"Starting this offseason, we had substantial discussion among player leadership about whether the penalty structure we have is right - whether there should be increases - whether there should be a differential penalty for intentional or unintentional users,\" Weiner said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;   \"That dialogue is continuing. We had some dialogue even with the commissioner's office in the offseason that didn't lead to any changes, and I suspect that we'll have those discussions over the course of the year,\" he said. \"But it's going to be a 2014 issue. We're not going to change the rules of the game in the middle of the season. In a sense, the drug-testing season started with spring training.\"&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
