MVP

Most Valuable enhanced Performance

appeal or not MLB should have not let him collect the award while there was speculation or doubt!

How can MLB say they are cleaning up the game when they allow a guy who tested positive to collect an award thus allowing him the ability to collect whatever bonus that was in his contract for winning an MVP and any other benefits he stands to get for winning the award, not much of a deterrent there!

Just to defend MLB a little here, the MVP belongs to the Baseball Writers of America not MLB. MLB isn't releasing the official information due to the appeal and I assume they did not tell BWA for the same reason. MLB didn't give the MVP, BWA did.

Sorry... BWAA

Sounds like the statement put out by Palmeiro's lawyer.
Still waiting on that one.

I have to agree. When is Major League Baseball going to start revoking a player's awards if they were the result of juicing? As far as I'm concerned, Braun does not anymore deserve that MVP.

Maybe his trainer accidentally gave him a shot of Testosterone instead of a shot of B-12 he was supposed to get. I'm sure mistakes like that happen all the time.

[freddiefreeman5]

Is Tejada still giving out those B12 shots?

As the resident Ryan Braun collector on this site...
I have to say that I'm pretty blown away.

And as far as overturning any positive test results, it's never been done before.
So, I don't see any silver lining at this point. I guess time will tell.

It is important to note that no one has had a test overturned . . . in MLB. Many other leagues around the globe and even the Olympics have had athletes' tests/suspensions overturned to due issues with the test and/or the labs. I work in the medical field and often see cases where patients receive false positives with their lab results. NOT saying Braun is innocent, but someone in baseball WILL someday have a false positive given the sheer number of tests performed and the fact that humans are involved in the process.

In the meantime, anyone disgusted and wanting to unload their Braun game used items can contact me at the email below. I'm still buying.

It's fair to assume the 95% of positive tested saying the test in error is not a reflection of the accuracy of the testing. It's a reflection of the the 95% being spoiled babies who can't man up to their mistakes.

Anyone want to sell there gu bats or jerseys? I'm looking to buy.
