Glad you got your suspension over turned. But I’m more happy that ESPN has something different to obsess on now.

His suspension was overturned on a technicality, he still failed the test.
February 24, 2012 at 1:44 pm #1042439It will be interesting to see what happens to his performance now that the league will be on him like white on rice.

Maybe. It was reported on ESPN that Brauns people offered to take a DNA test to challenge that the sample was even his. If this is true, then that would cast huge doubt in my mind. One thing we must consider with Braun. His stats haven’t changed through the years. His body mass hasn’t changed through the years. He PASSED every test every year all through the minors and up until last year.
I’ll admit it doesn’t look good for him. But this isn’t Bonds, Sosa, McGuire who blew up like balloons when they started juicing.
In any event, he is back playing for a team that will desperately need him.

a dna test does absolutely nothing here…whats a dna test to prove? through the years? he’s been the league for 5 years. the bonds and sosas didn’t start taking them until the mid 90’s because it wasn’t as predominant as it is today. guys now are on steroids in A ball today.
the problem is this is a synthetic. what std drug is synthetic? and even then players can file exceptions.
going off how a guy looks is an enormous fallacy. a guy down the street went through cycles and took hgh for competitive mountain biking. he didn’t baloon up.
February 24, 2012 at 3:01 pm #1042526Twins fan here so it really makes no difference to me. I only hope that he was not juiced ’cause he seems like a stand up guy. BTW…if the Brewers decide they don’t want him I’d love to see him jump the river.

I agree wholeheartedly. It’s always disappointing when people we “look up to” let us down, but we all need to remember we’ve let others down before too. Once I’d like to see a prominent athlete come clean and just admit he messed up. Instead of the two step shuffle with Barbara Walters.

So you are saying Mauer was juicing?
Now there is the stretch of the day!
Jealousy is a terrible thing.

Exactly….
So if you are a good guy it’s OK to Cheat…
MLB baseball ought to be embarrassed and humiliated over this.
hndPosts: 1579February 24, 2012 at 4:41 pm #1042616for me, the whole thing is fishy. i hate the brewers but alot of things don’t add up. i could totally believe that the sample was tampered with.
February 24, 2012 at 4:45 pm #1042619Lord only knows what is the truth. I saw a ticker on CNN just a minute ago say “I swear on my life that substance never entered my body” Well, it was something like this. I’d love to believe him, except the image of Palmero in front of grand jury keeps popping into my head.
February 24, 2012 at 5:17 pm #1042633A DNA test would prove the sample is his….
I understand it had to do with the sample not being handled properly to ensure it was his,there’s a term for this but I cannot remember what it isI’m not defending him at all….Just saying……

The sample was left unprotected for 2 days.
Tampering with something like that would just take a minute or 7.February 24, 2012 at 6:29 pm #1042658Like I said, who knows the truth. But what was reported this AM was the seal on the samples was not tampered with, just that the sample was shipped to the wrong location. Has the report changed on this?

I think we all assume that anyone that takes PED’s will bulk up like the guys mentioned above. I don’t think that’s always the case. Look at Rafael Palmeiro – not a roid looking guy…but he took them. Same with Braun, some guys may not put on the body mass like others but that doesn’t mean they don’t get stronger and benefit from PED’s. Different body types can react differently…
If you gave PEDs to …say Jamey Carroll and Delmon Young for instance – Delmon would probably balloon up, but I don’t Jamie would look that different. I’m just saying, Ryan Braun could definitely be a user and it may not be apparent.
