Ryan Braun, who won the National League’s Most Valuable Player award this past season, has tested positive for synthetic testosterone. Braun is hardly the first big name in MLB to be associated with PES, but for so many of the others (e.g., McGwire, A-Rod, Clemens, Bonds, Ortiz), this became known only some time after the fact, and often was based simply on witness testimony. Braun actually tested positive during this year’s playoffs:
I'm thinking Braun might have been one of the first victims of the new HGH test. Scared off by that, he thought he could away with T.
Needless to say, Braun is disputing the results. Maybe he should hire Floyd as a technical advisor.
