I just saw a few minutes ago that Ryan Braun tested positive for PED use. There's not much out there yet concerning the details, but it will make for interesting times leading up to the season to see if the positive test is upheld, and to watch him serve a 50-game suspension.

It appears that he had elevated testosterone levels and synthetic testosterone was responsible.

The Brewers are on the hook at this point for $100 million+ to Braun through 2020.

The heeb failed 2 tests so I don't see him avoiding his 50 game suspension. You don't accidentally get synthetic testosterone in your system.

He should be the "Catholic Crusher" as his mother is Catholic. He's not very jewish culturally and even though he has to be the poster boy for jew athletes I think people in general see him as white--so from that aspect it's quite a downer that he was caught using PEDs. You would think that if all those low IQ non-whites can fake their way to clean tests that a jewish guy should be able to do it too.

Braun got his ban overturned today by an arbitrator, the first player to succesfully win an appeal

Im sure there were a few strings pulled behind the scenes :kev::kev:

Braun may end up wishing his suspension hadn't been overturned:

Braun strikes out in only 2 ABs of spring debut

If his spring training debut was any indication, earplugs might come in handy for Ryan Braun this season.

The reigning NL MVP was heckled while striking out in his only two at-bats in the Milwaukee Brewers' 1-all tie with a split squad of the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.

It was Braun's first game since getting caught up in a drug case during the offseason. He recently won his appeal, overturning a 50-game suspension for a positive drug test.

The game was at Milwaukee's Maryvale Baseball Park and Brewers fans gave Braun a standing ovation when he came to bat.

But about half of the 6,619 fans cheered for the Giants and greeted Braun with catcalls. They serenaded the Brewers slugger with chants of "Ur-ine Sam-ple!" before Braun struck out swinging against Madison Bumgarner in his first at-bat. His second time up, Braun was greeted with chants of "Cheater!" before looking at strike three.

Braun was getting the kind of treatment Barry Bonds used to draw toward the end of his career—and from the very fans who were the only ones who didn't deride the Giants superstar who was long suspected of using steroids.
