Braun tests positive for PED | Presser update pg. 42

[Ill-yasova]

I thought the Brewers had told MLB that they had not approved anything and didn't know anything about what he took.

I think he alluded to the fact that two other Brewers also failed the test at the same time, maybe suggesting that there was an error with the test?

“The bigger issue here is the testing and was Ryan Braun a victim of the testing by Major League Baseball,” Patrick continued. “Let’s see how this plays out… The feeling I got (Sunday) from somebody involved in the process in this, it’s not as cut and dried as people would think. And Ryan Braun may be an innocent man.”

Dan Patrick citing source Ryan Braun may be exonerated in drug test by MLB. Says it was not a personal reason for positive test.

Per Robb Vogel's Twitter account.

I think a lot of you missed the underlined negator in your first reading of this.

Oh, and please let this be true as others have said. I care about this more than the Packers loss. A lot more. Because the Packers will be fine, but having Braun be a cheater would just completely ruin the Brewers for me.

Edit: Scratch that. Two other Brewers had high levels of this banned substance too in the same test.

Whoa, where'd you hear that? That would be really interesting.

Dan Patrick said it on his show

[Balls2TheWalls]

Not only did Patrick say it, but he said that the other 2 players had way more outrageous levels than Braun.

"I was talking to someone (Sunday) who was involved in this appeal process and they told me don't jump to conclusions about Ryan Braun, that there is a chance there actually is a legitimate excuse and that he will not be suspended for 50 games," Patrick said. "National League MVP. They had his drug test right before the playoffs and it was spiked with testosterone. He took the test with two other teammates who also had drug tests that were higher than normal. They were a little bit more out of whack."

That's incredible if true. Either we have a few guys on the team on the same regimen, which isn't completely out of the realm of disbelief, or there's a chain of custody issue.

[emunney]

Maybe I'm just being pessimistic, but it sounds to me like we now have three guys who are about to get 50 game suspensions.

I will be glad when this will be all over.

That was my immediate reaction as well.

Not Guilty!

Thank you for your input.

That was my first thought as well. If true, it could take a decade for the Brewers organization to recover from this.

Yup.
