Wow

Just saw that. Wow.

Apparently they are going to review his case first, then suspend

MVP

Oopsie

Wonder if Fielder is dirty too.

wow, surprising news

big check minus for whoever was supposed to supply the masking agent

steals some of the headlines from the Heisman trophy tonight

I remember watching his interview on the MLB Network after he won MVP. Crazy think back to that, how care free he was acting despite knowing all this *****was coming out soon.

That pisses me off and affirms stronger testing was necessary.

The problem was, someone either forget to stop taking early enough, or was hopeful they didn't get selected for "random" testing.

The Brew-Crew are going to SUCK next year.

OH... and on the same day MLB reinstated Manny. NICE!

I'm wondering if he didn't release that information so the Heisman Headlines might distract. He apparently knew before getting the MVP and the Brewers indicated they have not been notified.

Yank

Supposedly MLB already sent it to a 2nd Anti-Doping lab in Montreal.

He had his own test done. SURPRISE! He is innocent. Clean Test.

Paging Prince Fielder... you are wanted at the anti-doping lab.

So, does that give anyone pause about "others?!"

You'd have to think there will be some serious questioning about how Prince Fielder can be so FAT... carry so much weight on such a small frame... yet put up very similar power numbers as Braun. Really the SBs are the major difference.

Matt Kemp anyone?!

Just another reason to keep the contracts short and sweet.

IMO, Fielder just got cut to 4yrs.

Fielder might, I question him at times, but fat and out of shape sluggers have been around for nearly a century.

Matt Kemp is tall and long. If he was in the NFL, the progression of his physique and performance through his "college" years and early professional career wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary.

Wait....

Baseball players use illegal substances?

These dudes are all on something, and the fans let it be known long ago they don't really care. More power to the guys on your team you like to pretend play the game "the right way" because you heard them say so. But this would be a lot easier for everyone if they quit pretending players won't use these substances and always find some way to be one step ahead of testing.

.. The best thing he can do is come out, admit to everything and be completely honest," Braun said. "The situation will die a lot faster if he tells the whole truth."

This was Braun's quote on A-Rod when A-Rod got caught doping. Perhaps it's time to heed his own instruction?

What you learn from that, is to never comment publicly on anyone else's situation.

The penalties are a freakin joke. It pays to cheat in MLB.

Be ready for some major backpedaling by Selig. Ignoring his arguable favoritism for the Brewers for obvious reasons, the fact that he stood Braun (and Ryan Howard) up as the example of today's player "doing it the right way" is the real thorn.

kb, hadn't even thought about that!!! How embarrassing!

Braun says positive result may have stemmed from personal medication. (MLB.com)

What happen to just working out, eating right, and becoming a complete ball player?

the guys that do this are stuck in AA making $50K a year. You see a few guys pop some PED and sign $15M contracts, and you start thinking about it.

Heard a rumor that it might be from his herpes medication.

Lol if that's true, talk about a lose-lose situation.

If that is a viable and approved use in MLB, expect about 600 players to get a prescription.

Playah: "Yeah babe, I know we are married, but this could be worth MILIONS!"

Wife: "How about I sleep with someone and transfer it to YOU?"

Personally... If that was the issue... I'm taking the 50 game suspension.

AA players make nowhere close to 50k a year.

I don't know what they've changed it to, but a few year ago the minimum salary at AA was $1,500 a month and meal money wasn't but 20 or 25 bucks a day.

Its a tough life, and something guys in college that have an opportunity to get that degree really need to consider.

The good news is if you can work your way to the 40 man roster, you're guaranteed about 34,000 a year.

MLB is a joke. Will they even look into stripping him of the MVP

The MVP isn't given out by MLB. It's voted on by sportswriters.
