Wasn't a steroid, but a synthetic form of test. Large differences.

I'll have to accuse the major media of revision when they put out his second test as negative.
If they allow it to not be buried, that is.

Players are taught that if a supplement is not on an approved list comprised by NSF, then that player is at risk for taking something into their body that could make them test positive. Link: www.nsf.org/Certified/BannedSub/Listings.asp |

Wow...was not expecting that. Hopefully it was overturned because it was not positive rather than being overturned because of a faulty testing process... |

Only fully tangible thing to come out is that there wasn't a huge smoking gun to fully prove he was guilty. A ton of variables at work, and the result was a 'not guilty'.
Ergo, he should be treated as such.

Wow...was not expecting that. Hopefully it was overturned because it was not positive rather than being overturned because of a faulty testing process... The sample was taken over a weekend and wasn't delivered to the lab in the required number of days (per the CBA) because the courier thought FedEx was closed on Saturdays. "During the hearing, Braun’s side challenged the chain of custody from the time the urine sample was collected by Comprehensive Drug Testing Inc. to when it was sent, nearly 48 hours later, to a World Anti-Doping Agency-certified laboratory in Montreal, two people familiar with the case said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because what took place in the hearing is supposed to be confidential. The sample was collected on Oct. 1, a Saturday and the day the Brewers opened the NL playoffs. The collector did not send the sample to the laboratory until Monday, thinking it would be more secure at home than at a Federal Express office during the weekend. Baseball’s drug agreement states that 'absent unusual circumstances, the specimens should be sent by FedEx to the laboratory on the same day they are collected.'" |

It's the lack of a real good test for it. Even the best ones for it now are imperfect. |
