1. RoyalsRetro (AG#1F) Posted: December 19, 2011 at 10:15 PM (#4019602)Hey, who knows more about cheating? I know if I want to know about dictatoring, Castro's on the top of my list to ask.
And, did anyone else think it said that Braun died, at the first glance of the headline? That would have been a story.
This guy (points to self).
yeah, the way it was stacked in hot topics gave me the initial impression that Ryan Braun was found dead by Victor Conte.
Sooo......you were surprised then? Or...?
Or, found dead in the water with Victor Conte.
"Balco Founder Victor Conte, Ryan Braun Found Dead in Water"
Now that's really a headline for a slow news day.
Chose Death Instead
I honestly think that would be a good thing. The stigmatization of STDs is a bad thing IMHO. Not least, because it prevents people who are afflicted from getting proper treatment and advice.
Nomar could have saved them
TMZ is saying Braun is going to use Herpes as an excuse.
Me too.
PEDs are a story that won't die, and he's arguably the foremost authority on their use (at least among people who aren't currently distributing/developing them and therefore unlikely to talk), so the media goes after him for quotes every time a story like this breaks. Sure, he's unsavory, but you have to interview shady characters to learn about about shady business.

Sorry RR, the sequence is really funny if you're kind of drunk...
Herpes medication is a hell of a drug.
The second coming of Sandy Koufax he ain't...
I'm skeptical about his "fast acting" testosterone assertions, I'd like to see some scientific evidence first. If it exists, it's hard to imagine it can leave your body that quickly, and still have any real benefit, and why would players risk taking it given the onerous punishments for failed tests unless they could be convinced it was extremely beneficial. Secondly, if it was that useful, you'd think that Braun would take it in a way to avoid testing. By simply taking it before he goes to bed he buys at least 8 hours and probably 12 before they can test him (he simply doesn't have to answer the door or phone and say he was asleep). Instead it sounds like he would have been tested very quickly after application, if it was the cause of his testosterone levels.
Braun's problem still sounds like a false positive. A whacky measurement triggered by something he should have cleared with the league before taking. He was making too much money, had little to gain by using.
My thought as well.
Money isn't the only motivator; he could have just wanted to help his team win. You can't buy a ring.*
*Unless your last name is Steinbrenner.
This is what I thought of too. Man, what a great thread that was. Too bad that the car rescue the other day didn't
resonate the same way.
