Ryan Braun Has Tested Positive for a Performance-Enhancing Drug
According to a report appearing on ESPN’s Outside The Lines, the 2011 National League MVP Ryan Braun has tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug. According to OTL, Braun is protesting the finding through the arbitration process, which is why the league has not announced the positive test. If the test is upheld, Ryan Braun faces a 50 game suspension.
When talking about Alex Rodriguez’ suspension previously, Braun had stated:”I would never do it because if I took steroids, I would hit 60 or 70 home runs.” The tests was reportedly triggered by elevated testosterone levels, and Braun was notified of the positive test about a month before he was named league MVP.

Damn. All I’ve got left as a baseball fan is that Cal Ripken hasn’t been arrested as a pedophile yet

Albert is next.

He was on the Second Mile board. I’m prepared for the worst
December 10th, 2011 at 8:19 PM
I’m fully prepared to argue that he never did it in STL and only started after signing with the Angels.

Matt Kemp would care, but he’s face deep in pussy right now and is unavailable for comment.

Good thing that he didn’t test positive for meat and milk together, or he’d be in really big trouble.

I love how ESPN is going with the story as cold hard fact despite constantly saying “Sources report”. Shouldn’t they be saying “allegedly tested positive”? No gray area of “maybe” even considered by the producers feeding lines to the anchors

I an going to wait on this but if true MVP should be taken away. I agree Pujols is on something. Bad knee and other joints. Tell tail sign.
December 10th, 2011 at 9:44 PM
They didn’t take MVPs away from Bonds. You think they’d take it away from someone now?
December 11th, 2011 at 2:22 AM
Yes. For the fact it happened in the same season. When Bonds was found out it was after the fact, not right after the current MVP season.

Great week for baseball. The best player in the game breaks the hearts of his adoring worshipers for an extra 40 million over 10 years, and the game’s best young player, and the best player in the NL in 2011, tests positive for a PED.
I miss the 80s. When franchise players mostly stayed with their teams and coke was the drug of choice. Hernandez’s eyes might have been rolling back in his head and Straw might have missed the World Series parade sitting on some drug dealer’s couch, but at least you knew they weren’t slurping horse dong to get an extra 10 feet on those fly balls.
