Ryan Braun Fails PED test 50 game ban

[derosabomb]

espn sucks.

I'm actually pretty shocked, he didn't seem like the type.

The biggest issue, though, is that it's being reported that Braun and MLB new about it a whole month before he was voted MVP.

Don't you think that type of info should have been reported so that voters could make a more informed decision??

Rosenthal continues: What Bruan did triggered violation of MLB steroid-testing policy. Source says substance was prohibited, but not PED.

The more that comes out it sounds like ESPN shit the bed on reporting this.

Technically, he did fail the test. Just not for what was originally reported/thought. But he is still in line for the 50 game suspension.

Originally I was blasting brewer fan for this but now I am unsure of what this means?

So he used a banned substance but not PEDs? What about the synthetic testosterone?

ESPN sucks dog shit but isn't synthetic testosterone pretty much what MLB doesn't want in game?

Fwiw I think kemp should have won in the first place.

wtf knows..... maybe he is actually a woman and had a sex change.... that would be call for artificial testosterone

 

[bleacherbum54]

Ken Rosenthal is reporting sources claim Braun tested positive for a prohibited substance, not a performance-enhancing drug.

whats the difference?

^ Ephedrine being on the list, maybe Braun took a bit too much Sudafed because he had a cold or something. Sometimes OTC medications have weird shit or impurities in them and that could trigger a positive test.

Still curious to see how this investigation turns out.

but testosterone actually will help increase muscle growth etc.

So I sit on a couch watching tv and injecting testosterone and at some point I come out looking like a body builder?

Nah, you'd probably grow some sweet man boobs though.

LOL...I better cut down on the sweets.

SO see, without the exercise does the junk do anything really?

I had a gym membership. Said it would get me in shape. only if I went though.

I don't think simply sipping on a steroid smoothie will do much more than get you all pissed off and rage-y. But if you do work out, it'll divert more resources towards muscle-building. So you do have to put in some work to get the benefits.

What I heard the other day was that his bat swing speed was also nearly twice as fast from 2011 to 2010.

I think someone is in trouble.

So if his swing speed in 2010 was 100 mph, his swing speed in 2011 would've had to be around 180 mph, which seems a bit much :lol:

Im being a little broad with my terms but you get the point.

He's always had a quick bat. I'm sure if we google hard enough (huh huh huh) we'd be able to find the data for his swing speeds by season.

 

[Anno Catuli]

The reports said that his testosterone level was twice as high as anyone ever caught. Which is saying something. They did no mention how high the previous high was, or how high his was.... but dont know how he will be able to talk himself out of this.

this is tough for baseball. I thought we were getting past this, and here we are again. I heard the the positive test was BEFORE he was awarded the NL MVP.

ZOMG really?!

Who was the inside source for that?

 

[Shawon0Meter]

MLB official says Ryan Braun’s 50-game PED suspension is unlikely to be overturned

 

[Cloud 9]

I hope it holds up. Braun is easily my least favorite baseball player. We're from basically the same part of San Diego but I've always hated him, he's a giant ******.
