2011 MVP Ryan Braun Tests Positive for PEDs....

How is anybody stupid enough to get caught doing this?

I am a Cub fan and I hope this isn't true. I have had fellow Cub fans who have met with Braun and not only was he gracious and respectful to a fan of a division rival, but he took time out of his day to not only sign memorabilia, but also talk baseball. He literally spent an hour with them after running into them in Milwaukee on two different occasions talking baseball and signing autographs for their children. This is another black eye for baseball if true. It will however show that drug testing is working. With the new CBA and HGH testing via blood samples, it will bring even honesty to the game.
 
Braun: 'I am completely innocent'

I just received a text message from Ryan Braun. Because his appeal of a positive drug test is ongoing, he cannot comment on the record about any of the details or give any information about what happened and what's going on.

But Braun was quite adamant that he will get this positive drug test overturned. He said he wanted to hold a press conference today to give his side of the story but was adviced against it while the process is ongoing.

"I can't wait to get that opportunity," said Braun.

"This is all B.S. I am completely innocent."

That's all Braun can say for now, which is understandable. But I appreciate him reaching out to me to say what he could.

I hope he is right and this is a false positive.
 
I hope he's innocent as well. I'm certainly not a big baseball fan, but I follow it and usually watch most of the playoffs/World Series. The sport definitely needs this to be a false positive. But still, if it's true, he's stupid enough to get caught.
 
Didn't the season end like 2 months ago? What do they send out for drug test results to the same place that issued rebate checks (*allow 8-12 weeks for delivery*)?
