Ryan Braun tests positive for PED

Ryan Braun of Milwaukee Brewers tests positive for performance-enhancing drug - ESPN


Well that's just ashame. I really marveled at how great of a hitter he was/is. But he's just like the rest of the cheaters.



(Good for him though, at least he's signed his long-term contract!)

Beat me to it. Mod of this forum can delete my thread.

It is a shame. I actually had respect for him although he was on the Brewers.

Woooooooooooooosh. Holy shit.

I saw on twitter that a bombshell was about to be dropped. Didn't think it would be this!

I take it someone deleted my thread on the subject as well, so lets move on, to OMFG!!!!!!!!

Something is up, I got a funny feeling that this is going to be overturned, or that there will be some long appeals process.

Moment of silence for Hardy Blonde...

This doesn't make any sense he has been tested all through the system and nothing has ever come up before. He vehemently disputes this and it's going to arbitration. One test showed positive and the next showed negative, it would be very problematic if it can be proven that there is a flaw in the testing by Braun’s camp.

Apparently he didn't test positive for a PED so I'm reserving judgement til more facts come out.

Yeah this is some murky stuff going on.

The original test was "insanely high", and that it was a "prohibited substance".

So all those "Ed Hardy" shirts leaked some sort of substance into his system?

The odds the tests are wrong is astronomically high in favor of them being accurate, just because he's a good guy dosnt mean he didn't do it, that's all I keep hearing (not necessarily on this post) but in general. But as most I believe in innocent until proven guilty

With that said, if guilty he needs to be stripped immediately of MVP award and a re vote taken, if innocent MLB needs to make a public apology and clear his name relentlessly, because just the suspicion of PEDs can ruin your legacy.

I have no feeling either way just hats off to MLB for coming leaps and bounds in drug testing in wake of the steroid era, or we will see how they conduct themselves in that very rare case a test is wrong.

If you strip Braun of his MVP you have to strip Bonds of all of his, Sosa of his, Ken Caminiti of his, Jose Canseco of his, Roger Clemens of his Cy Youngs, A-Rod... I can go on.

[Qdiddy]

Wasn't illegal then, I agree but that's the difference

Braun should be stripped because he didn't deserve it in the first place
