Braun tests positive for PEDs.

Re: Braun tests positive for PEDs.

I really hope there is an error in testing somewhere. This is terrible for baseball.

You're still angry over a ROY award? That award means nothing. Freaking Marty Cordova won one of those.

Not angry. I simply don't like Braun. It doesn't consume me or I go out of my way.

I don't understand this train of thinking. If the superstars are doing it then the others most likely are just to keep up.

You're missing the point. The ENTIRE Population of pros simply can't be all dirty. If it comes out that the entire MLB is dirty, I'll eat my baseball hats.

Re: Braun tests positive for PEDs.

Well, of course they wouldn't announce it before the MVP award was given out. Imagine if the story leaked, followed by him winning the MVP? That would have been outrageous. To be honest, its hard to tell who is being honest these days. Even the "no way he is doing it players" have done it. But like Dayman said, although I love baseball its getting much more difficult to watch. Well, we will see what happens next.

Re: Braun tests positive for PEDs.

Well, we've heard all this before from other accused stars, so grain of salt and all that, but Braun claims it's "BS" and his agent is saying that he'll eventually be proven innocent...

Re: Braun tests positive for PEDs.

Nobody's ever beaten a positive test, I certainly don't expect Braun to be the first, but...

A source close to Braun said that when he was told about the positive test, he immediately requested to be tested again. That second test, the source said, was not positive. Those close to Braun believe that the difference between the two tests will show that the first test was invalid.

Was probably out of his system by then, if you want my honest reaction to that.

Baseball is a great game. I wish MLB would figure that out.

They need a zero tolerance policy. You get caught, banned for life. If they really wanted to clean up the game, they would do this.

Now we can call him Ryan Broid! SMH, Matt Kemp deserved the award!

Wow, speechless is the word for me.

They should make contracts voidable if you get busted.

Brewers beat writer Tom Haudricourt:

Just spoke to someone familiar with the details of Braun's test and was assured he will be found innocent. If so, horrible this leaked out.

So.. take that for what it's worth, I guess.

Re: Braun tests positive for PEDs.

I can't remember someone getting caught with a positive test and saying their guilty. If you used PED's admit it and move on!

If he's found innocent, this should have never leaked and the person that leaked it should be banned 50 days from their job.

Damn. This is a big surprise. Even if it's a mistake. The damage has
already been done.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

Re: Braun tests positive for PEDs.

More thoughts to ponder.

This is from MLB.com article. It's not allowing me to link.

Braun responded to the test result by telling MLB.com's Adam McCalvy in a text message: "I would love to talk, but unfortunately I'm not really allowed to say anything right now. My day will come soon, though."
