    Dirty cheat. 50 games is a joke though, should be a life ban for first offence.

    I'm curious to see, first, what the drug is, and second, how it affects his skills.

    Of course his spokespeople are denying any wrong doing and they say "there are unusual circumstances" . That's the line we always here.

    Gone for 50 games. With them now testing for it more often, expect to see much more "cough cough, Granderson and A-rod, cough cough".

    artificial testosterone at the least according to the doping agency, it increases muscle mass, decreases recovery time. Basically it has the same effects as anabolic steroids.

    You think A-Rod's juicing? He's done jackshit since the 09 playoffs.......

    I thought testing had become a regular thing since 2005?

    Braun's quote was "It's BS"

    I meant how his going off the substance affects his performance. I worded that poorly.

    I'm curious to see how his production changes minus ze juice.

    Don't be upset with the MLB. They did their job.

    That's what I don't understand. People keep blaming baseball. Well, he was caught, wasn't he? Isn't that the whole purpose of what MLB is trying to do, prevent or catch PED users?

    Hey guys,

    Long time since I've been in here for those who remember me. Anyways, I was just seeing how you all feel about Ryan Braun now that he has been cleared. It seems like most people still think of him as a cheat and such, but I really dont (obviously Im going to have some bias regardless). I think if he performs like his usual self, most of this will blow away...

    It's pretty simple: do you view A-Rod as a cheater for taking some test boosters? That same stance would then apply to Ryan Braun.

    The issue is he was not guilty as opposed to innocent. There is a big difference. He still failed the test and was cleared on a technicality. It's not like the test was wrong.
