Drugs or Not

Authors Note: After reading this piece you wll have my opinion on Ryan Braun and the PED's.



NL MVP winner Ryan Braun after putting up great numbers 2011 the annual drug test suggested Braun was tacking PED’s (performing enhancing drug). After avoiding his 50 game suspensions Braun is getting jeers and cheers from fans everywhere.  There has never been a player in MLB history that has avoided suspension for PED’s after being caught. What do you think was Ryan Braun clean or was he the first player ever to get away with PED’s?

There is one main reason to me why you should support Ryan Braun in this epidemic. Braun’s stats are stable between the 2010 and 2011 seasons with a steady increase in them. The urine samples from Braun were being kept in the inspector’s basement which could’ve contaminated them. After researching I found the samples did not need to be kept there. There are also some reasons he could be guilty.

Braun was tested twice and tested positive both times that might mean he was on PED’s. The test have never been wrong before which makes it hard to believe he is innocent. Other great players like Barry Bonds couldn’t get away with it. He could've been on them his whole career though. That would mean he should've tested before and been caught then. Who do you side with.

I think Braun is innocent and so did most of Wisconsin. The Braun story was the biggest story of off-season. You need to think about it to understand what matters to Wisconsin is that he’s playing all season. Braun drugs or not he's still my favorite. What do you think is he innocent or guilty? I still believe he’s innocent.
