    My god the stupidity in this thread. Braun was on ESPN every 20 seconds for 2 days after this story broke.

    He's negligent at worst.

      Just another cheater, it's funny that he still thinks he can bullshit everyone by saying oh I didn't know, oh there's special circumstances. The impact on his career will be massive

          All day Saturday was nothing but Braun. All day Sunday was nothing but the NFL and Braun. That's what im talking about. Skip Bayless is an idiot I could not care less what he talks about.

                Has Braun made a statement yet? It's funny that when a rod was busted Braun was one of the first to say just tell the truth and tell everything, and that will make it to away. Now he's trying to bullshit his way out of it

                  Because Manny admitted to taking a banned substance. Braun's ruling is still up in the air at this point and he has claimed he didnt take anything, thats why its different so far.

                    What's up in the air about it? There hasn't been one suspension that's ever been overruled.

                      It's amazing. I used to always bring up the hypocrisy in Bonds likely not getting into the HoF despite never having a positive piss test by the league, while A-Rod will probably get in on his first ballot despite having admitted to using steroids. In A-Rod's case, the media just ignored his steroids use. In Braun's case, the media seems to be outright defending him.

                      It all proves that this stuff has just turned into a matter of public judgement based on whether people like the player personally or not. This is supposed to be sports- not a reality show.

                        not only didnt bonds have no positive test, he was forced out the game when he was still one of the most dangerous hitter in the game!

                          That's true, but only of suspensions that have been announced by the MLB. In this case, ESPN broke the story while it was still in the appeals process- before anything goes public. That's why the MLB won't say a word about it. It's possible that there have been past cases in which the player won his appeal so the suspension was never made public at all.

                              Good point, I didn't know that. Regardless we've seen this song and dance before.

                                First Take a.k.a. First Tebow hasn't talked about anything else except Tim Tebow for a month. It's nauseating. Didnt you realize that Skip Worthless sucks Timmy's little pecker every day and nothing else in sports is worthy right now? So your statement by itself in no way means ESPN is avoiding this story.

                                                I find it hilarious that everyone is so quick to say guilty. Look at Braun, does he even come close to resembling a steroid user? Nope.

                                                Why was his urine clean in the immediate follow up test?

                                                All the sources saying no player has ever successfully appealed a failed test is wrong. There has been 1 and guess what, that player is in the Brewers system and the situation is very similar, tested positive for extremely high levels of testosterone then immediately tested negative. (http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...s_mlb&c_id=mlb)

                                                MLB has already stated that this situation is highly unusual. Why would they say that if he was a roid using cheater?

                                                  Did they take away A-Rod's and Ken Caminitti's?

If MLB is serious about elminating steroids from the game they will take his MVP back or refuse to recognize it, since the writers that vote seem to think he still deserves it.

                                                      They should say, if you take PEDs you will not be allowed to play anymore. That would solve the problem fast.

                                                        The MLB can't take it back because it's not their award to to take back. I still dont see how you can say Braun doesn't deserve his but Arod and Caminitti still do. Regardless of them "not knowing whats up" then those players have admitted to cheating during those award winning seasons.

                                                          This is a completely different era, there was no strict testing back then and everyone was on them. Now with the crackdown, only a complete dumb ass will test positive, I.e. Manny Ramirez, now Braun. They won't strip him of the award, but they should.

                                                              1. Because you will be suspended (though I agree that the suspension should be longer than 50 games for intentionally dosing).
                                                              2. Because your reputation is trashed.

                                                                Assuming this holds up, pretty much everyone in this thread looks like a jackass. Yes he will probably still get suspended but if this is true he clearly wasn't doing it to cheat.

I think the medication is the real deal because there were already rumors about it a week or so ago that said it was medication for the herp, which was another reason Braun was angry the test leaked early.

Doesnt surprise me, 90% of baseball has to be taking something whether they look like it or not. Even the pitchers too, there throwing harder and harder....coincidence? maybe but idk
