Some things to consider...
I feel that much of the evidence is circumstantial...names on paper, invoices and receipts, logs, etc. They are asking for total immunity because they are possibly breaking several laws. Most notably, any Hippa laws that apply. If they are under the care of a doctor and proscribed a legal drug (that might be a banned substance) then those laws apply.
Some of the drugs might have been given illegally (without a doctor or r/x). Again, against the law and asking for immunity.
Biogenesis sounds more like a compounding pharmacy to me where they mixed drugs, compounds, and ??? to make new things. Legal? No one is sure...therefore they want immunity.
Greed made the people at Biogenesis do this, nothing more. They craved money first...now fame...I would not be surprised when the books come and movie rights are sold.
As to Braun...who cares whether it was performance enhancing or not. He used something illegal and lied about it. Is this the example you want for your children? It is okay to use or do something illegal as long as you do not get caught...but when you do, make sure to lie about it first and then faced with overwhelming evidence and pressure, beg for forgiveness.
They should void his contract (which they can probably legally do...because he lied, not because he used a banned substance) and go after portions of the previous contract when he was using said substance.
Just my opinions.
