December 11, 201114 yr Wow a solid team with the Prince and the Hebrew Hammer has all gone down the drain
December 11, 201114 yr I love watching him hit. Was hoping when I heard PED it would be some pre work out sup but damn synthetic testosterone. Can't really argue that it's BS. Sources say he knew about the test results about a month before he received the MVP.
December 11, 201114 yr I guess there isn't a chance that this came up because of something else he took, right? Dammit Braun...
December 11, 201114 yr I'm not so ready to cast stones. Having asthma, I know some perfectly legitimate drugs with legitimate uses have Steroids in them. As such, I want to hear more before I condemn or defend him.
December 11, 201114 yr I'm sure all the girls on this forum are going to cut my head off for saying this, but I actually can't stand Ryan Braun, so this makes me laugh quite a bit.
December 11, 201114 yr I'm pretty disappointed. I love Ryan Braun. =[ This. I really felt like Braun was one of those guys we'd never hear steroid rumors about. I shouldn't have thought this way, but I did. It's a shame. Kinda shows that it's gonna be hard to trust any player out there anymore.
December 11, 201114 yr I mean he did come from UM.... We don't typically churn out boy scouts, okay? We have a reputation to uphold.
December 11, 201114 yr I'm not so ready to cast stones. Having asthma, I know some perfectly legitimate drugs with legitimate uses have Steroids in them. As such, I want to hear more before I condemn or defend him. Those aren't anabolic steroids in asthma drugs. Not all steroids are the same. In Braun's case, there are no possible excuses. Those legitimate uses are mostly corticosteroids, which aren't the types of steroids Braun took.
December 11, 201114 yr Author So they're going to lose Braun for 50 games, and Fielder for 162. Good.

Those legitimate uses are mostly corticosteroids, which aren't the types of steroids Braun took. Still I didn't see the story name anabolic steroids. I'm still waiting out for more info.

Excessive levels of synthetic testosterone can only mean one thing.
December 11, 201114 yr Hanley will still get more sh*t for nothing than braun will for PEDs. Braun cared so much for his team and the city of Milwaukee that he sacrificed his image and took PEDs for the good of the Brewers. Hanley tried to field a tough play and dislocated his shoulder. Prick.
December 11, 201114 yr One of my favorite non-Marlins, and one of the guys I thought for sure would be clean for his whole career. Baseball cynicism is increasing... :/
December 11, 201114 yr Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I despise when crap like this happens and players are caught using PEDs. To me their reputation is tarnished and I find it disgraceful to the clean players of past and present. Braun will have his chance at the appeal so we will see what happens.
December 11, 201114 yr I was speechless when I first heard (which is saying something for me), and I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. How could Braun be so stupid and/or careless? Was it the pressure of his lucrative contract? If this were the NCAA that MVP award would be snatched away immediately. Of course, this is Major League Baseball and he will get a 50-game suspension. So this offseason is now extra painful for Brewers fans. He's arguing an invalid test, but he has a pretty uphill battle to fight with that one. I wonder what Matt Kemp thinks about all this.
