Hello 50 game suspension Ryan Braun

[stevenash]

I'm sure Albert is clean

About as clean as Braun.
Albert is the next big name to test dirty.

[KingJD31]

if albert was cheating it would have came out they dont save it for a couple years down the road

[neverstoppers23]

i am guessing he used something that was unlabeled in some supplemental. no one is stupid enough to take roids on purpose, still not even sure what he took.

his own ignorance is going to cost him.

i think it would be fair to see what braun has to say, and what drug it was. he tested positive in late October, so he probably took something to help recover from a nagging injury that would help his play.

Poor guy, doesn't get it...

He's been using them his whole adult life...

Without them, he would be on here asking for point loans arguing with Paco and Mikail over the occupation of the middle east...

Wake up Guy!!!!

um. you do know players get tested many times each year right?

[GamblerSpirit]

They should take away his MVP and give it to Kemp. I thought Braun deserved it, but obviously didn't know he was cheating.

Unreal.

[ttwarrior1]

more then likely it was something over the counter

i would like to know instead of elevated levels, what were his levels compared to a weightlifter and normal person

Doc told me my levels are high too and i take nothing

[FourLengthsClear]

um. you do know players get tested many times each year right?

... and you know that the chemists that formulate these things know the nature of the tests right and try to stay one step ahead, right?

We're not talking about cholesterol!

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Thought that was why his eyes were buggin out of his head.

HAHAHAHA

Hell of a post!

[neverstoppers23]

can't believe you are all over this guy with almost no details out yet. we have such an over-reactionary society i guess it shouldn't surprise me, we want to convict everybody we see in the media charged with anything.

first time this guy ever 'tested' positve for ped's in his career, and you want to throw out all his numbers. let the facts come out before you send the guy to the gas chamber.

[King Mayan]

I don't understand why anybody tests athletes for steroids.....all athletes use some type of PED....

And for anybody to think that steroids is the reason why he's playing in the MLB, is mentally retarded.

[neverstoppers23]

... and you know that the chemists that formulate these things know the nature of the tests right and try to stay one step ahead, right?

that makes no sense, you can use that line for every player in the nba, mlb and nfl.

we don't even know what he took yet, i am guessing it is an over the counter medicine and he being a dur trusted who-ever told him to take it.

Ben Johnson was a good sprinter before he started using PEDs but he was nowhere near WR/World Champion standard. If it did not make a substantial difference nobody would take the risk of using them.

[neverstoppers23]

All I am asking is wait in till more information comes out, on what PED was used. To act like the guy was purposely trying to gain an advantage is not right.

[ttwarrior1]

all kinds of things at gnc and stores can make you flunk a test

geranium in the supplement i took thursday night is on the banned list .

They need to say what his levels were, like on a level from 1 to 10, 4 being normal, 5 is still a pass, but six is a flunk, but your levels can be high as a 10.


If anyone things he willingly was taking anything then your simply a moron

[ehp6737]

Unfukkin real

He would've been one of the last players I ever suspected.

[neverstoppers23]

i just read that, the 2nd test he was given proved to be negative. so this will be an interesting case.

theres things to prevent testing positive and he prob tthought he could be the test it was a contract year for him makes to much sense he cheated hes as much of a cheater as gayrod and manny

You don't get "synthetic testosterone" from OTC medicines.
Of course it is right that judgement on him is withheld until all the more comprehensive tests have been done.

[neverstoppers23]

Unfukkin real

He would've been one of the last people I ever suspected.

that is the first thing i thought, braun is the cockiest player in the game imo. if you ever hear him talk, he knows he is great and is not afraid to admit it.

which is why i am giving him the benefit of the doubt right now.

[neverstoppers23]

sir, it was not a contract year for him, braun was signed for a long time, and actually during the season he signed a huge extension, in till like 2020

[KingJD31]

maybe your right i remember he got an extension this year thats why i thought it was

[ehp6737]

The test was done during the end of the 2011 season, not the off season. So if his appeal is denied and the results of the first test are upheld, how can they not strip him of his 2011 MVP award?

[ttwarrior1]

got a feeling braun wins this since the 2nd test was negative. I guess fielder gets a pass because he is big and black?

90 percent of lineman on on roids or gh but nobody cares because its a physically demanding sport for 16 games

it said it was in late Oct?.

[neverstoppers23]

trust me i am right, he was already signed in till like 2014 this year, and he signed even a longer extension to basically keep him in milwaukee his whole career.

[neverstoppers23]

would help if you read the article instead of the head line.

Since being informed of the results, Braun has been disputing his case. 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.

[Bluehorseshoe]

This made my night. He's so full of himself in interviews.

[numismatist]

The Hebrew Hammer is actually the Jewish Juicer. LOL

I read it.

The second test (on a sample given later) does not invalidate the first.
How many negative samples do you suppose A-Rod gave in his career?

[ehp6737]

it said it was in late Oct?.

"The 28-year-old Braun had to provide a urine sample for testing during the playoffs, and he was notified of the positive test sometime in late October -- about a month before he was named the National League's most valuable player".

[neverstoppers23]

okay so he tested positive after the regular season was done. and the votes have already been cast.

again we have to wait in till we get all the info.

the 2nd urine test was not positive. the first one did test positive.


we will have to wait to see what comes of this in arbitration, already braun is calling it "bull shit".
