[The Lovedoc]

Another black eye for Major League Baseball...

saw this....wow he didnt even look like he was on the juice.

ps sucks to see this....seemed like the star of today and tomorrow.

Worst part about it is baseball trying to hide it cause he was voted MVP.

Do they not realize that you can not hide anything anymore?

Braun, 28, who was aware of ESPN's forthcoming report, issued a statement via his agency:

"There are highly unusual circumstances surrounding this case which will support Ryan's complete innocence and demonstrate there was absolutely no intentional violation of the program. While Ryan has impeccable character and no previous history, unfortunately, because of the process we have to maintain confidentiality and are not able to discuss it any further, but we are confident he will ultimately be exonerated."

Brewers signed Braun to a five-year, $105 million extension that would keep him in Milwaukee through 2020.

Could end up being a huge waste of money.

Braun

I would let this one play out before passing judgement. He just doesn't fit the MO of the type of person that uses the juice. I know I'm a Brewer fan but this is a good kid and everything I know about him says he will be found negligent at best. This is a really good kid and I will be absolutely shocked if Braun used steroids to gain any advantage.

Anyone who doesn't think Pujols is on something (HGH) is dreaming. Nobody puts up the numbers he has without being on something. Now that they are going to start testing for HGH watch and see what his numbers are over the next 3-4 years.

I definitely believe Pujols is on PED's. Its funny how his trainer was in the black book of the biggest HGH dealer in MLB when he was busted. I believe he was a relief picher for the DBacks. Anyway MLB buried that info and made it go away. As far as Braun, it doesn't matter if your a good guy or not. IMO I don't believe they would come out with these allegations if there wasn't some truth to them. As far as good guy vs bad guy, there sure is difference in treatment amongst fans IE: Braun vs Bonds...cheating is cheating

Could it void the contract if he is found guilty?

[vinnyvegas]

IF ANYONE couldn't see this doesn't understand PED's or HGH. SERIOUSLY

It's not about being THE HULK on this stuff.

It's RECOVERY & helping last an entire season of 160+ games at top form. IMHO

Braun's NUMBERS totally STINK of being on "JUICE"...not ROIDS but ILLEGAL or BANNED stuff or even stuff NO ONE knows about yet.

SCIENTISTS are WAY AHEAD OF TESTING...BIG $$$$$ in it for these athletes.

AGAIN IMHO

Your living in la la land if you don't think every player wouldn't use something to get a big contract. The proof will be in his stats from here on out. If he has a big drop off you know he was using
