Storminnorman's Opinion on Ryan Braun's Suspension 02-24-12

Tags: MLB Ryan Braun Brewers

No offense to any Brewers fans here on the Gab, but how the hell does Ryan Braun get his 50 game suspension upheld when no other player since the steroid era of baseball has been successful in doing so? Could it be that Bud felt bad for the Brewer's since he used to own the team before becoming commissioner? Could it be that since Prince left for Detroit, he is the only marketable name left on the Brewers, and without him ticket sales will drop off? I smell a controversy brewing concerning Major League Baseball's Drug Policy. 

Now that Braun was successful in getting his suspension lifted, who's to say what will happen the next time a player is suspended for PED's will try to do to get their suspension lifted by the commissioner? First, the reduce Manny's 100 game suspension so he will come out of retirement, because he will be the next to reach 3,000 hits, maybe not this year with the Athletics, but next year for sure. Then they do this for one of their high market players in Braun, and the excuse they will use is that it is for the good of the game. Well I think its a bunch of crap, because if it were anyone else, on any other team they would have to serve their suspension regardless of whether or not they were telling the truth about not using PED's or not.  I am pulling no bunches by stating this is a crock of shit, and I hope baseball is ready for a good dose of its own medicine, because they will get it when the next time a high profile player like Braun tests positive for PED's. I do not care if he passed 25 previous tests, apparently he failed one and the rules should be the rules no exceptions!!!
