Braun suspended remainder of 2013 season

[WallyWorld]

paging Lance Armstrong . . . what a dick.

@ArashMarkazi: Only thing more embarrassing than using PEDs is lying about using them. Braun looks terrible here in hindsight. http://t.co/k2sWMgPkCq

What an a&@hole.

Classless punk.

Read in the LA Times within the past week that these guys are being offered the equivalent of 'plea deals' from MLB.

 

If they fess up and accept voluntarily, the suspension might be less and MLB won't release details of the 'investigative report'

 

If they don't, well..............

 

sounds as if Braun knowing things were not going to go well for him, decided to admit and take the rest of the year off.......and the prior posters here are probably right that MLB is ticked that Braun got away with it during his 'MVP' year.

I don't see how Colon would get suspended. They would have to prove that the test he failed last season was a completely different issue then the Biogenesis matter. The problem is not only will that be practically impossible to prove, it's probably not accurate. He more than likely tested positive from drugs obtained through Biogenesis. And he was already suspended for that. So he'd have to fail a new test or MLB will have to come up with new info. I don't think this Biogenesis thing is going to have Colon going anywhere.

OOPS.

[HaloCory22]

He should be traded here and forced to start at 3rd base instead of a suspension.

This isn't about failing a test. All it takes is one piece of evidence that is dated after the positive test. I have a feeling just about all the players facing a 2nd offense will take a plea deal with MLB.

OOPS.

Lets get the Brazilian soccer fans to give us some pointers on taking his life

[disarcina]

Hey, perhaps MLB can arrange/ time the announcement of the suspensions to coincide with Manny Ramirez's first appearance back on an MLB roster.

 

Where's Manny again? Texas AAA team, right?

[T.G.]

The really disturbing things about Braun and guys like Lance Armstrong is that it's obvious that cheaters are passing drug tests some how.  The fact that the drug test didn't catch Braun or guys like Armstrong just makes me more suspicious.

He must have not "knowingly" took anything

We all have to pay for our mistakes.

As one of the articles stated, the Union will not defend those that the evidence is clearly pointing to as guilty.  

 

This evidence against him must be pretty good for him to just accept it.

That's probably why they are holding off on the mass suspensions until next season.

 

They want someone to be the martyr for the biogenesis stuff.  They went to Braun, said, "Look, the Brewers aren't exactly primed to make the playoffs this year, and you're already pegged as a juicer, so just take your medicine now, and you'll have most of next season to play.  Otherwise, you're going down for the majority of 2014."

I hope it's more than Braun that gets suspended. After watching Colon yesterday one has to think he is on PED's.

So, got to ask.  Was the PED's he used kosher?

Braun is not a good guy.    Watch the team improve now that the circus that is Braun news can now move to back pages.

This is twice now Braun, granted the first was overturned.

[AngelArcher]

Hamilton and Richards for Braun. Get on it Dipoto.

[Angel Oracle]

Has Braun mis-remembered yet?

[mrwicked]

so what happens to the collector that had his life ruined after braun's ranting?

didnt he guy swear on his life he never touched peds.

 

lame ass.

use it if you want, but when caught its time to fess up.

Braun last year during spring training:

 

 

Saying "my name has been dragged through the mud," Milwaukee Brewersoutfielder Ryan Braun said he won his appeal of a positive drug test and 50-game suspension because "the truth is on my side."

"Today is for everybody who has ever been wrongly accused," the reigning National League MVP said Friday at a news conference at the Brewers' training facility, his teammates sitting in the stands in uniform behind him. "The simple truth is that I'm innocent. The truth is always relevant and the truth prevailed."

 

 

Lol at this guy. Paraded around last year about beating the system

Not only that, he cost two people their jobs...the guy in charge of the custody of the specimen, and the arbitrator both got shit-canned.
