Is everyone calling BS on this whole Ryan Braun deal?

if he was black or latino and not the reigning mvp and not one of MLB's brightest young stars, he'd be out for 50 games. oh yeah, and his owner is the commish.

    as far as i know, the only thing that happened with the sample was that it wasn't shipped out when it was supposed to. so the only thing one can asssume is that the person who kept the ? in his fridge tampered with it it. i don't really know why that would happen, unless the person who was responsible for the ? was Matt Kamp

    basically its like gettin off for murder because they mispelled your name, by all accounts he tested positive.. and his lawyers were just savy enough to exploit someones mistake. He cant say he was targeted because the public at large havent heard of him till this story broke.. public outrage/ the intensity of it is gauged on how they feel about said player..

    exactly. and neither Braun nor baseball or anyone has indicated why the test was positive. MLB just said our guy ? up. Braun said they ? up. but nobody said how or why the test was what it was.

    The test was positive b/c he failed it. that's self explanatory. That's why you hear about how high his level of testosterone was. Dude ? up is the reason he got off but it's not the reason why it was positive it was positive b/c he took riods. Sense he got off his camp is implying that the guy must've tampered with the sample.

    we will know in 30 days once the arbiters release their report/ sweep this whole thing under the rug, right about the time NFL draft talk is heating up and baseball will be starting. Baseball and Braun is doing all they can to make this whole thing go away

    I guess I'm the only one that heard Colin Cowherd speak on this. He pretty much said Braun got through on a technicality so small it was 100% fate.

    In his press conference, Braun points out that the tester had the opportunity to go to 5 ups spots (i think it was ups) near the stadium. Then there were another 15 that were farther distance. Here's the problem:

    - the collector arrived at field to collect the sample around 3-4
    - the collector didn't leave until around 4:30
    - of the 5 drop offs within driving distance only 3 of them had live ppl there. You can't simply drop it off.
    - of the the final 2, 1 closed at 4 the other at 5
    - the other 15 were a minimum of 45 mns away

    the collector to put it nicely was ? ...thats the case braun used..."well how do we know you didn't do something with it since you didn't drop it off"...weak (but w/e it worked)

    Colins more important point was that tampering is a FELONY offense. *cough* ? *cough* If you're alleging tampering, then some type of investigation has to go down. An investigation involving law enforcement, not simply baseball.

    Braun ain't built for that.

    Also its important to know that the actual SEAL on the sample was intact.

    If he came out and admitted it was herpes medicine that got him a flagged test, I think he would get a pass.

    SOme ? .

    Smiley-face chump is guilty.

    Brewers goin' pay for that ? during the season. With Prince and Grineke gone, I doubt they win 85 games this year.

    I haven't been following that closely, but I think dude may be innocent. When I was watchin Mike and Mike one morning it came across as Braun was sayin that wasn't his ? . He said he'd offer up a DNA sample that they could compare with the drug test ? to prove it wasn't him. MLB said no they didn't want it. If I was guilty I wouldn't volunteer my DNA.

    I think it's at least POSSIBLE the MLB ? up the testing and didn't wanna get caught. Right now it's either Braun or the dude transporting the test messed up. But if the DNA comes back saying that's not his ? , and that it's still sealed like it was when he left the testing location, then what? That means someone mislabeled the samples. MLB (the league most ? up by steroids) sure as hell doesn't wanna be caught ? up tests. That'd open the floodgates.
