always knew that bug-eyed look he was sporting at the plate wasn't natural.

Well it wasn't his fault I'm sure. He's already said that He has never knowingly used steroids ! These guys kill me thinking anyone really believes that BS.

some of his prior quotes about roids are downright hilarious

think this was from 2009: "I would never use steroids because If I did I would hit 60 or 70 home runs"

He wasn't very close... the actual number is 33

He doesn't look like he is taking a PED.


This is suspicious though.

A spokesman for Braun confirmed the positive test Saturday and issued a statement: "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.
Bad choice of words.

How do you accidentally have a bunch of synthetic testosterone in your system? doesnt matter if he looks like a roidhead or not. Just because he's naturally a small guy doesn't mean he's not juicing.

They will do steroids under any commissioner. There is no way to stop this. I have no doubt there are tons of guys who still do this including Pujols and Bautista.

I am waiting to pass judgement. He was very outspoken during roid fest saying that the punishments should be even more severe. After the positive, he had 2 more that were negative. I have not seen a finer person with accolades in a long time. To sign for the amount he did, for the length he did, showed his commitment to a small market team where he will not be in the limelight. I am saying that this guy would be the last you would think would get caught. If true, suffer the consequences, if not, prove it and save your name and the Crew's 2012 season.

You dont think a massive contract put a little more pressure on him to juice up, if he wasnt juicing already? And if he was a few months ago, he probably has been for a couple years at least.

not too many people testing positive would surprise me at this point.

that being said, I was surprised to hear this.

Braun is going to have a ton of pressure on him next year to prove that steroids were not the reason for his success.
