For what its worth, Dan Patrick says that he's got a reliable source saying that Ryan Braun is probably going to win his appeal. If that happens, he would be the first MLB player ever to win a performance-enhancing drug appeal.

DP already backed off that and said "I want to clarify something I said about Ryan Braun yesterday, what I should have said is he could be found not guilty." And to quote Craig Calcaterra on it "He could still, however, have his positive drug test upheld in the same way J.C. Romero‘s was, with a decision that it was inadvertent (i.e. a positive sample constituting a lack of innocence). Because MLB’s drug policy is strict liability, however, he would still be suspended because intention has nothing to do with it."

Which would suck for him since he'd probably still get the whole "doping" treatment from the media even if it was nothing more than a tainted supplement.
