Considering Braun has a company that makes ugly Affliction style t shirts this should be less surprising. He probably hangs out with a bunch of meathead d-bags.

What a fraud. I am so disappointed, Braun to me was one of those guys "you never would have thought" were juicing.

I don't even care about baseball, and I enjoy this. Go Cardinals, Red Sox and Yankees!
Did I miss any team to be a true bandwagoner?

LMAO at Braun


The fact that he KNEW he was caught before he even won the MVP and still accepted it shows what kind of dumbass asshole he is.

I think any positive PED test should be a 1 year ban personally, eligible to come back the following year after whatever game you tested positive after. So, if you test positive in game 100 you should be eligible game 101 the following year. 50 games, 100 games, it's clearly not stopping the cheating.

Also officially make you ineligible for any future awards or the HOF. Also a lifetime all star game ban.

Yep. Amazing.

I'm not surprised that players try things to attempt to get an advantage, I'm surprised they haven't caught on they're not getting away with it. Braun must be one dumb bastard.

Doytch - No, the home run numbers in the steroids era are an illusion.

You are aware they were using a completely different baseball in the "steroid years"? And that upper body muscle mass doesn't help in generating power?

Or just cocky. Or burdened by the weight of being the superstar on a playoff team.

Doesn't matter. I'm pissed.

Are you actually a denier that steroids can enhance performance? I mean, really? REALLY REALLY? or are you trolling?

Steroids unquestionably make you stronger. It's not going to help you hit a baseball much, but it certainly is going to make a good hitter into a better power hitter.

No, it won't make you a better power hitter. If you actually posted on this thread regularly, you'd know there's been enough actual articles and studies done on this.

Well, it's certainly true that some PEDs will not enhance performance. The "cough syrup" example someone mentioned earlier. We can certainly quibble over individual substances that should or should not be banned but the majority of the steroid era hitters (and possibly pitchers) gained material advantages from their use. Whether it might be faster healing from injuries as ARod claims he tried to do, or adding muscle as others have done athletes have a responsibility to stay within the rules and apparently Braun did not do that.
