Ryan Braun Follow Up (Freestyle Rant)

I am not happy right now...I should've come down harder on this guy. The VERY person who had Ryan Brauns's sample for those 24-48 hours has said he never touched it, and the agency he handed it over to said there were no signs of it being tampered with as well, proving that Mr. Braun is a liar and a cheat. I mean what a pompous ass. For him to stand up there at his press conference and “bet on ...his life” that he didn’t used any PED’s is a joke. For the record, I’ve never liked the guy for some reason. He just bothered me. Looks like a grease ball. This just solidifies it. NOW I have a reason to hate him, for cheating, then talking to down to us, and questioning our intelligence in his denial. Punk. I hope he gets booed everywhere he goes!

Thoughts On Ryan Braun

In other sports news, Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun recently won his appeal to overturn a 50-game suspension for a positive drug test, becoming the first major-leaguer to win such a test.

I'll ask you this:  is he not guilty because there truly was a mistake with the sample, or is he not guilty because he beat the system?

For more reading on how Braun won his appeal, you can go here.   I remain skeptical however.


Again, I'll ask you this:  how does one's testosterone level go up without the help of some sort of performance enhancing drug?  Doesn't seem logical, does it?


However, his career stats don't suggest he was a steroid/HGH user.  As you can see from the numbers, there isn't that typical spike from one year to the next.  Still though, it doesn't pas the smell test for me. Too many of these guys have lied in the past for me to give Braun the benefit of the doubt.  You be the judge.
