NL MVP - Ryan Braun Tests Positive for PEDs.

[realtick]

The NL MVP tested positive for performance enhancing drugs. He has a 50 game suspension looming now. I wonder if they take his MVP award back.

I think he's smug.

 

[Risen Star]

They should take the award back. Who finished 2nd in the voting?

 

[TheCoolFan]

Looks like the Dodgers are gonna have the real MVP and the Cy Young winner

 

[Christiann]

Matt Kemp and Clayton Kershaw with MVP & Cy Young, I'm very happy.

 

[Hoofbite]

I love the way the MLB handles their PED offenders.

1/3rd of the season.

Of course, it took a nearly laughable chain of events where players were slipping by on a daily basis but at least they get the job done now.

 

[MC KAos]

so was this testing done after the season? because if they knew these results before, why would they go ahead and give him the award anyway?

Disgusting

Major league baseball needs to just acknowledge that roids are part of the game like the NFL has and make really soft rules to give the impression they are actually trying to stop it instead of ACTUALLY trying to stop it.

I don't agree with this at all.

I don't agree with this at all.

The majority of players are going to use them anyway, especially in a sport like football, and it makes the game more entertaining for the fans. Either make them legal to use or just act like you care without actually caring, but it is too their financial advantage to insure that players don't get busted for steroid use.

People who care about these things estimate that 75+% of NFL players use or have used steroids while receiving an NFL paycheck. I can almost gurantee that number was higher in baseball five years ago. The players are using them regardless of what the leagues do.

I didn't say they weren't. I'm sure they are. But a player being honest and not using should not be at a disadvantage for following the rules.

And to think they paid him over Prince Fielder... SMH!

Matt Kemp should have been NL MVP first place.

 

[bbgun]

Gee, he seems to have signed that fat contract just in time.

 

[Reality]

Matt Kemp should have been NL MVP first place.

Kemp played half his games in a pitcher's park and more importantly, Kept had no superstar batter protecting him. When the player batting 3rd in the line-up comes in first place in MVP voting and the guy who bats behind him comes in third place, it's safe to say that the first place guy had the best protector batting behind him in the league.

The MVP voters showed they had no understanding of the game but irregardless of what happens now, I love the fact that those voters have egg on their face.

Well said and I completely agree with you! I would have definitely awarded the NL MVP to Matt Kemp.

They may not know how to vote but I don't think the PED busting makes it any worse from their standpoint.

They didn't vote knowing what they know now.

Braun is clean.

 

[Hoofbite]

Braun is clean.

About as clean as a meth addicts mouth.

 

[locked&loaded]

About as clean as a meth addicts mouth.

He requested another test right after, it was negative. The guy has been gettin tested for a decade almost. He has spoken out against it, and doesnt look close to the part of a user.He is clean.
