I'm sure all the details will come out in time. Just gotta be patient till then, the decision is all that matters for now.

Yup. They're the one to blame for the leak and their response is poor.

Yeah I guess I don't care now that I found he is cleared.

Major League Baseball considers the obligations of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program essential to the integrity of our game, our Clubs and all of the players who take the field. It has always been Major League Baseball’s position that no matter who tests positive, we will exhaust all avenues in pur...suit of the appropriate discipline. We have been true to that position in every instance, because baseball fans deserve nothing less.
“As a part of our drug testing program, the Commissioner’s Office and the Players Association agreed to a neutral third party review for instances that are under dispute. While we have always respected that process, Major League Baseball vehemently disagrees with the decision rendered today by arbitrator Shyam Das.”

Will ESPN apologize for smearing him? doubtful.

I don't know if he will talk about details especially if it is something embarassing like herpies. If I understand the whole story correctly nobody should have ever known about the positive test or known that this appeal is going on. If that is the case whoever leaked it and ruined his reputation needs to be punished.

Well they were doing what almost everyone was doing, except a few Brewers fans who were just dold they were homers. Heck even a lot of Brewers fans were calling him guilty already.

Real reporters (Rosenthal) took the time to actually look into it before reporting on it instead of smearing him immediately.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

True, just too bad this was even leaked, because now a ton of people are going to be skeptical.

It is still interesting that Jimmy Rollins said that he knew of people that have gotten off before. Of course, those are never reported since they were never leaked.

Who were you? I can't keep it straight.

Also, AGHGHGHGHHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One post at the Dodger board and I got banned!

LOL nice!

Like I wrote when this first happened - innocent until proven guilty.

WTG, Ryan!

And here's your fake scout reaction!

"Difference between "innocent" and "found not guilty" Pretty subjective case where Braun hired a big legal team to state his case, and that plea won the day for him.

The reality is that he still tested positive for banned substances."

"look no further than the mlb statement

The leaked information that he tested positive is still true, the fact that he was “exonerated” doesnt take that away.

This wouldnt have happened in any other baseball city in America."

"http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7608360/ryan-braun-wins-appeal-50-game-suspension"

"Braun didn't argue evidence of tampering, didn't argue anything about science being wrong but argued protocol had not been followed. A second source confirmed to ESPN investigative reporter Mark Fainaru-Wada that Braun did not dispute the science but rather questioned chain of custody/collection procedure.

According to one of the sources, the collector, after getting Braun's sample, was supposed to take the sample to FedEx/Kinkos for shipping but thought it was closed because it was late on a Saturday. As has occurred in some other instances, the collector took the sample home and kept it refrigerated. Policy states that the sample is supposed to get to FedEx as soon as possible.

Braun's initial T/E ratio was more than 20:1. And sources previously confirmed synthetic testosterone in his system. Source says MLB is livid and is considering options and other comment."

I guess the question begs, can synthetic testosterone some how become more potent if it sits in some dudes fridge? Did he dope the test?

HE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
