Ryan Braun, your 2011 MVP, cleared of doping charges.
Love it.

I don't see anything unusual about his 2011 numbers. Maybe someone sees something I'm missing?

I'm just saying now that he was basically busted for cheating if will be interesting to see if his numbers will decline or was the test taken sometime other then after the 11 season? |

My point was that his numbers didn't dramatically spike upwards in 2011, something usually associated with the onset of PED use. Guy has been putting up steadily nice numbers his whole career. That, and his hat size didn't enter the Bonds Zone.

Edit It looks like it's Testosterone to Epitestosterone levels not estrogen that is checked. I would still like to know the total T number though. If his TE Ratio was 4-1 then he likely had T levels at about 2000. That's probably having 300-400 mg of test in his body. That doesn't seem that crazy to me, but I'm no expert.

His "insanely high" TE ratio was 20-1. From what I've read, its pretty high and you don't see it often, but it is not an impossible ratio at all.

Why? If he's using PEDs, he likely wouldn't have just started last season and would likely continue using them in 2012 anyway. That isn't even mentioning that nobody still knows exactly what (if any) impact PEDs have on baseball performance.
Braun is going to be the same fantastic hitter he's always been. There's little reason to think differently. |
