    Did Braun ever look in to who framed him last year?

    Haven't heard anything on that.

    Fixed that for you. And yes, I know it's a tired device. If you're going to lean on the Pavlov thing, tired is all you deserve.

    Actually, it's MLB that should have investigated that fiasco. Or turned up more real evidence against Braun. Haven't heard anything from MLB about that, have we?

    This is obviously the result of anti-Semitism so deep and pervasive that the Head Jew himself is leading the conspiracy. The only logical explanation.

    I also think it's funny that Braun's excuse is basically "I didn't use the PED guy's stuff, I just used him to help me beat the rap last time."

    What was there to investigate? Braun's lackeys used the fact that MLB fucked up and left too much open to interpretation in the handling procedures to help their boy beat the rap.

    Of course the fact Braun never challenged the results, only the handling of the sample somehow escapes your pea brain.

    WHY ARE WE NOT USING RYAN BRAUN'S URINE, WHICH IS CAPABLE OF PERFORMING COLD FUSION WHEN LEFT BY ITSELF, TO FUEL OUR GREEN ENERGY NEEDS?!!!??

    THANKS, OBAMA.

    And there you go with the other crutch, the lame insults. Once again showing that even you realize how flawed your arguments are.

    Braun did challenge the results. They were thrown out. His reputation is damaged forever. It was damaged the moment the news of the test was leaked. Yet another failure on MLB's part that the powers that be failed to investigate. Their agreement with the players was violated, but they didn't bother to find out how or who did it. All Braun would ever be able to do is beat the suspension.

    The truth is, even if MLB came out and said the test was a mistake and there was no reason to believe Braun had cheated, you would still make your lame accusations. You have proven that you don't care if the facts are on your side or not time and again.

    Who did MLB go after? The arbitrator who correctly threw the suspension out.

    And you still didn't answer why Braun was never caught before or since. It's not like he deflated and suddenly stopped hitting as if he had stopped using, is it?

    That was the really funny part. Everybody here who attacked Braun went nuts when he got off to a slow start, as if that was proof, then suddenly got very quiet when he went right back to being one of the best hitters in the game.

    I never claimed he was clean. Not once. For all of your lame attacks on my intelligence, you are the one who fails to even grasp such a simple point. What I'm pointing out is that you and others on this board are way too quick to toss out accusations you can't back up. You have done it repeatedly, demonstrating a complete lack of credibility on the subject.

    Or perhaps you simply can't handle having me consistently point out how full of shit you really are.

    Yet Braun couldn't explain how synthetic testosterone magically appeared in a sealed urine sample.

    A sample that was sealed in his presence and was still sealed when it arrived at the lab.

    And you are taking whose word for that? Oh, the same people who said the players' names wouldn't be leaked as Braun's was.

    But I give you credit for one thing. You didn't even try to argue that you would assume the worst of Braun no matter what.

    So let me see if I've got this straight...

    Either Ryan Braun ingested synthetic testosterone and tested positive for it... or...

    Multiple people at WADA were involved in an international conspiracy to frame a drug test subject for no apparent reason.

    Because those are the only two options. Which one is more plausible?
