A very good source on the Ryan Braun side of the drug testing controversy assures me that he did not test positive for a performance-enhancing drug, as reported by ESPN's "Outside the Lines."

ESPN reported that Braun tested positive for a PED that gave him an abnormally high testosterone level, which proved to be synthetic and therefore not produced by the body.

But my source -- and again, this is from Braun's end and not MLB -- familiar with the test's findings says the "prohibited substance" was not a performance-enhancing drug or steroid of any kind. And the source says there has "never" been a result like this in the history of the MLB testing program.

The source said MLB "knows that Ryan is telling the truth) and firmly believes the postive test will be overturned. Pretty amazing stuff, huh?

The source said more detail couldn't be provided at this time because of the ongoing legal process. But suffice it to say that this is getting more interesting by the minute.

It could be a masking agent.

Do you think if marijuana were to become legalized on a federal level similar to alcohol laws would it be removed from that list. It's not like alcohol is on the list of drugs of abuse.

Also if you are hospitalized for a serious medical condition are opiates allowed to be taken? They are some of the most effective and most popular pain killers used in to treat patients.

I kind of hate that I keep seeing media people tripping over themselves to give Braun the benefit of the doubt that other players never got.

Manny Ramirez did not test positive for a performance enhancing drug, and there had "never" been a result like it in the history of the MLB testing program. There still wasn't this much noise being made defending him.
--------------------
Not saying I do or do not believe he did steroids. Just seems weird that he's getting the benefit of the doubt, when every player ever has said they would appeal a positive test and be found in the right.

[emkayseven]

he's white, the others weren't, it's that simple. who were the big guys who have gotten caught? palmeiro, mike cameron, manny ramirez (twice), volquez, jose guillen
--------------------
and of course the other two big ones who were never suspended, bonds and clemens. and even though clemens is white, he is not well liked because he is the brett favre of baseball.
--------------------
also, yes beef? i missed you when you called me

[Namaste]

I think we need more info. I don't think Braun is that stupid.

What else is needed? A sworn, recorded confession from Braun?
