National League MVP Ryan Braun, who last season led the Milwaukee Brewers to their first division title in nearly three decades, has tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug and faces a 50-game suspension if the initial finding is upheld, two sources familiar with the case told "Outside the Lines." Major League Baseball has not announced the positive test because Braun is disputing the result through arbitration. A spokesman for Braun issued a statement Saturday: "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" The 28-year-old Braun had to provide a urine sample for testing during the playoffs, and he was notified of the positive test sometime in late October -- about a month before he was named the National League's most valuable player.

Don't be a snitch, own up to it. Take the 50 game and give back the MVP you juiced up piece of crap! Someone better be testing Prince's piss too! Nyjger Morgan was WAY to hyped up to be normal! CHECK THE LOT OF THEM!
http://gridironfans.com/forums/baseball-talk/175912-nl-mvp-ryan-braun-test-positive-peds.html Mike beat you, and didn't need the catchy "BREAKING NEWS" title.
I just don't think this should surprise anyone. It's almost better not to know at this point, the truth would just be scary.
The only reason this should surprise anyone is because Braun always seemed squeaky clean. All I know is if the facts hold and this mother hecker IS in fact a juicer, Selig needs to take the MVP away plain and simple. And if he doesn't, Pete Rose needs to be inducted into the Hall of Fame in July.
tramp, why all the hatred toward this cat? Why wouldn't he dispute the test results? How do you know he actually did PED's and its not a false positive? Just curious why you're so adamant about this.
As I said, if it comes back all true, the dude needs to have the MVP taken away. I hate Bud Selig, that's where it stems from. And if Bud doesn't do something about this, he needs to be tarred and feathered. And I dislike the Brewers. They're just a bunch of douches. I hate ANY PLAYER that cheats. Just play the game. If you can't do it, so be it. But don't cheat.
Anyone see the reports today? Braun's TESTOSTERONE LEVELS WERE INSANELY HIGH!!! Twice the level of any test done b4 on record for MLB.
Congratulations to Matt Kemp on being the Most Valuable Not Cheating Player In Major League Baseball! Screw you Bud Selig, Screw YOU!
I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, etc. All of the mother heckers that have cheated should be banned from baseball and anything that they have done wiped from the record, pre or post roids. It's crap like what Dragonite posted that pisses me the heck off! And not because he posted it, but rather because there will ALWAYS be doubt cast upon every player. These are people that the youth of america look up to and how do they role model? They freaking cheat! Do it the old fashioned way. Work hard. Don't freaking cheat you c**k sucking pieces of crap. And Bud Selig is a piece of crap for allowing it to happen. Don't act as if he doesn't know. And then he allows McGwire to be on the ballot. What Rose did didn't affect how he played. He is arguably the greatest hitter in baseball history and he's not in the hall based on crap he did after his playing days. I hope that Bud Selig is abducted and raped by a pack of rabid mountain monkeys. Screw the good ol' boys.
this is why I only watch baseball during the playoffs and even than I hardly care, because half the guys are juicing it
