Palmeiro served the suspension that the rules at the time called for -- ten games (or ten days). He returned to the Orioles, played sparingly, poked a few hits, but as September approached the O's "sent him home". It was an unofficial release. He has hardly shown his face again (he lives outside Arlington), and apparently has grown a beard to make him less recognizable.
Something of a sad story, because if he'd spun it correctly he could have had a comeback. Not an especially triumphant comeback, but at least a reconciliatory/redemptive one. And he still had some baseball in him.
I'm not sorry he got caught with the smoking gun, but I am a little sorry he didn't even try to dig himself out of the mess he was in.

He ran away from the public spotlight because he was caught
