Nike has terminated its endorsement contract with suspended slugger Ryan Braun.
A Nike spokesman acknowledged Friday that the company no longer has a relationship with Braun. He accepted a season-ending 65-game suspension last week for his connection to the Biogenesis drug scandal.
Braun had been wearing Nike shoes and batting gloves for his entire seven-year major league career, and the company recently began selling "Big Bat Like Braun" and "Braun Owns Milwaukee" shirts.
The Milwaukee Brewers outfielder has lost nearly all of his endorsement deals in the two years since he became connected to performance-enhancing drugs.
