"There has never been a result like this in the history of the (MLB drug testing program."

Crazy

This is just surreal.

An MLB management person told me nobody could believe it when they heard report about Braun. That's how clean his image was to them.

For those hoping for quick resolution to Ryan Braun case, bad news: I am told the arbitration process could go into January. Sheesh.

'What the ****' doesn't begin to describe the confusion and disbelief. This is bizarre. January? Ugh.

Purple drank or alien steroids are the only things I can think of.

Probably Rodgers breathed on him.

Association with Godgers = Banned

Sounds reasonable to me.

Milwaukee Brewers' star outfielder Ryan Braun's original test for performance-enhancing drugs as the playoffs were winding down in October was "insanely high, the highest ever for anyone who has ever taken a test, twice the level of the highest test ever taken," said a source familiar with the developing case in which Ryan was reported to have tested positive for an elevated level of testosterone caused by a synthetic substance, triggering a possible 50-game suspension if the test results are upheld.

The never-before-seen ratio, according to the source, is one of several "highly unusual circumstances" Braun's camp has referred to when adamantly denying that the National League Most Valuable Player ingested a performance-enhancing drug that caused the positive test.

TH:

Very bad news for Ryan Braun and #Brewers: No player has ever had positive drug test overturned in arbitration.

Pure denial at work in my brain, but it almost sounds like a setup. Why in the world would his T levels be that high? Did somebody literally pour liquid testosterone into his sample?

Is it possible that he's just that manly?

Seems like the test results might be so absurd that it works in his favor? I have no idea.

Lol, as I'm reading this there is a commercial for low-t. Maybe Braun is the opposite of that and just romances the **** out of all the women?

This is on my mind as well. Are the results so off-the-wall bonkers that it points to something being wrong with them? I don't know, just a thought on my mind.

Hate to undercut a few potentially great jokes, but it was synthetic testosterone.
