Ryan Braun Facing 50 Game Suspension, Tested Positive for PEDs

Ryan Braun - Tested Positive for PEDs

Milwaukee Brewers' star Ryan Braun tested positive for Performance Enhancing Drugs, according to MLB. Personally, I'm shocked. I'd expect this from Manny Ramirez or older players that are trying to stay competitive in the later years of their career, but not Braun. He's only 27, he doesn't need to be taking PEDs. His numbers look completely normal as well, no large spikes in performance. He hit 34, 37, 32, 25, 33 HRs from 2007 to 2011 respectively. Braun released a statement saying these allegations are false. The Brewers organization also released a statement in support of Ryan Braun as well. That can be read here.

Here we go with this again... I've seen this before. A-Rod, Ortiz, Clemens, Ramirez, Pettitte, even our own Brian Roberts, etc.
