    A month after acknowledging only that he made "mistakes," Ryan Braun admitted taking performance-enhancing drugs during his NL MVP season of 2011.

    The suspended Milwaukee slugger said he took a cream and a lozenge containing banned substances while rehabilitating an injury.

    "It was a huge mistake for which I am deeply ashamed and I compounded the situation by not admitting my mistakes immediately," Braun said in a statement released by the Brewers.

    Braun tested positive for elevated testosterone in October 2011, but his 50-game suspension was overturned when an arbitrator ruled that the urine sample was mishandled.

    What good does apologizing now do? Isn't that like locking the barn door after the horse gets out?
