Why do you think they don't? They almost always appeal, and until today they have never won. Its not like everyone told Braun "hey, forget it, appealing is a waste of time, nobody ever appeals" and Braun thought "eh, why not, I'll give it a shot, maybe this appeal thing could work"

Yeah, at the time that clear shit was undetectable by the tests they were doing. Now they have tests to see that.
If i remember right that was that new shit that Balco got involved in. Its been a few years, so my memory may be a bit spotty on that. |

I can tell you are driving at something but can't pin it down. Would you mind being specific?

What are you saying, though? That every athlete who has ever denied taking PEDs following a positive test was telling the truth? |

The rumor is that it basically wasn't shipped fast enough because whoever was responsible thought Fedex was closed Saturday evenings that created the chain of custody problem which is kind of laughable that they ****ed something so simple up that badly.

Interesting that you are hinting at baseless accusations yet are afraid to clearly state what you mean.
There is a word for that but I'm not going to say it.

Athletes will continue tot ake steroids and i cant blame them, especially players from piss poor countries. Its like say, i can live like crap in the dominican (aka Manny) or i can take steeroids and earn about 300 million in the USA retire and live the rest of my life as a king in the DR. Hell, i'd do the same. Its a no brainer really. |

They also didn't actually have drug tests in the early 2000s. In the later 2000s, they didn't catch him as he might have been taking something else undetectable (or maybe he wasn't taking anything at all by that point, but I kind of doubt it).

I'd hope it was more like some random guy in the lab who wasn't authorized took it out of the room and had possession of it for several hours, or it was accidentally contaminated by some Dorito dust from a slob on his lunch break, or something stupid and irresponsible like that.

Joel Sherman @Joelsherman1 Close
Heard Braun sample sat with collector all weekend because he thought FedEx was not open to send to lab. This was technicality that Joel Sherman @Joelsherman1 Reply Retweet Favorite · Open Braun side used to sway arb. MLB shocked that carried the day So it's a technicality that got him off, then? At least that's something more tangible than nothing at all. You know, assuming this is even entirely correct. MLB is clearly putting this information out there to save face. |
