Braun tests positive for PED | Presser update pg. 42

If the drug wasn't a PED, then I'm not going to think of him any different.

I wonder what percentage of other players think he's guilty.

FWIW, Haudricourt the other day tweeted one of his sources said that management they had spoken to around the MLB was in disbelief (or something along those lines).

If he is guilty, I don't know that I could disown him, but I definitely wouldn't ever be able to think of him the same way again. If he did knowingly use, I'd rather him just admit it.

I wouldn't disown him as I think a lot of other guys in the league are doing it but I wouldn't be happy.

I'd really only think less of him if we find out he knowingly took PEDs. If it was in an over-the-counter supplement and he was unaware, I'd think he was dumb, but I wouldn't hate him.

But, anyway, I don't know whether to judge his innocence because we lack all of the information. It's too early. I hope we get a fuller picture in the near future.

My sources tell me it was Space Coke.

Maybe he was applying cream and kept it on his hands and pissed on his hands to try to show that the test was BS with the extreme amounts in the sample.

I am just baffled that he got busted for this. This one hurts and I hope his name is cleared in the end. I can stomach the possibility of him using something to get healthy and on the field for the Brewers. It just sucks that his repuation is tarnished because the drugs have nothing to do with how good he has been. He has been putting up solid, similar numbers since coming into the league. It's not like he was chasing any sort of home run record or looking for a contract. He was already paid for the next decade and a beloved star. He has been tested througout his career and there has been nothing. I just cannot understand his reasoning would be. Hopefully it's something bizarre.

ReddWing · Post #209 » by **ReddWing** » Mon Dec 12, 2011 11:51 pm

The good thing about this is Braun still has an entire career to make up for it. Hopefully, we have him in a contract year playing mode for the next decade. He is going to want to clear his name and if he continues to mash the ball, this will be forgotten. Just like the Kobe rape thing has been forgotten and nobody really talks about A-Rod anymore.

If he did it, he needs to come out and explain to Brewer fans what he did and why he used it. He can win us all back next summer if he carries the team into the playoffs again. What he should do is take a drug test every month and prove that he doesn't need it.

Don't know if this was mentioned anywhere before, but I heard (from a good source) Braun contracted a STD & the treatment caused the temporary spike.

Is there anyone out there with medical knowledge that can confirm a topical or oral treatment for a STD that could have caused the testosterone spike?

If there's a sore on your dick, you must acquit.

Oh that's just great. I'm sure opposing fans won't heckle him at all on that. Dodged a bullet there.

Just joking, that would obviously be a lot easier to accept than cheating.

That's what he gets for taking bogut's sloppy seconds.

Doubt it or JJ Herpes would have set the all-time record on the same test. :lol:

Needs way more love imo.

I'm telling you all that he is wearing a wig and the testosterone is from the drugs. Remember his crazy hair during that MVP interview? He is the baseball Andre agassi

Are you implying Braun borrowed Bogut's Jenna Jamison collection?

Just referring back to Bogut's mysterious infection last season that was never clarified. Inside joke.

What are the chances of Gindl getting a crack at an OF spot?

I just got an email regarding the STD meds defense. I hope this is true on so many levels. Sorry everyone for the scare. I don't take steroids, I just have a raging case of the herps. So good.

Aaron It Out · Post #220 » by **Aaron It Out** » Tue Dec 13, 2011 5:11 pm

This is like the 3rd Brewer in recent memory that has been linked to the herps. There must be a mole going around that locker room.
