Ryan Braun tested positive for P.E.D.
ESPN "Outside the Lines" ^ | 12/10/2011 | Buster Olney

Posted on 12/10/2011 8:02:26 PM PST by WesG

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.

Where’s the Barry Bonds-like outrage from the media?

Oh, thats right - the media doesn’t LIKE Barry Bonds. That, and he never tested positive for something he shouldn’t have. Unlike Ryan Braun.

Ryan Braun couldn’t carry Barry’s jock on his best day, but I digress.

Sad. But, I bet most people would do PED’s if they could increase their income to six million per year.

And that is exactly what Barry Bonds will be telling his future cell mate.

No wonder the Brewers were winning. I hope Braun never plays a game in the fture and joins his steroid homey in Barry Bonds and retire together and share their stories..

Like I said I wait for MLB, the story on the site is just The ESPN version repeated.

“That, and he never tested positive for something he shouldn’t have”

Bonds admitted to using a topical steroid but lamely claimed he thought it was something else. Quit being so willfully blind.

I despise Barry Bonds but you are 100% correct.

I once simultaneously tested positive for BLT and MGD!

Of course, I was a heavy user of both in those day.

Just don't test positive for HIV and you'll be AOK.

“Sad day for Brewers fans...”

Sad that he used or sad that he got caught?

BTW, ARod is now kissing his home run hitting goodbye with HGH now being tested.

I’m not blind at all. I have no doubt that Bonds took steroids or some sort of HGH. He was never caught - he never tested positive for something that was on MLB’s list of banned substances.

That isn’t blindness, its fact.

“Ryan Braun couldn’t carry Barry’s jock on his best day, but I digress.”

Get real. After all those steroids, Barry only needed a peanut shell to cover those BB sized testicles. Braun could carry that jock in a tobacco pouch. Excuse me if I digressed.

Gary Sheffield said Bonds sent him some cream for a knee injury, he used it for a week, and it turned out to be a steroid, at which point he stopped using it.
