Get a clue my friend. THIS  has nothing to do with guilty or innocence. Race card once again being played. Look again who he compares. NOTHING new here.

This is a joke that they were able spin the appeal as if it was our justice system today.

Wow not sure what saying but you sound pretty ignorant. So whats your reason why he got off. This should be good. Are you actually saying he got off cause hes white? IF so you need help.

Roger Clemens sure didn't get off easy.  Neither did Jason Giambi.

You people are funny. You assume someone is guilty. Like Braun said, this country is turning into a guilty until proven innocent. Look, the man had the 50 games revoked. How can you assume hes still guilty?

you are not sure what i am saying, but you say its ignorant...that is ignorance at its finest my friend.

here, let me clear it up for you.

if any fool thinks braun got off just because he is white, they are a racist for even bringing that up.

crystal clear?

If you look at my original post i was disagreeing with Double Up's assumption that if Braun's name was Ramirez of Cruz he'd be guilty. Like it or not the process in Braun's case was flawed. Simple as that. Nuff said. If Double Up or anyone else believes he was proven innocent cause of his color  they are the sick ones not me. Now is that crystal clear?

crystal clear?

He is not guilty, because he was cleared on a techinicality.  But he still cheated, because his sample had 10 times the allowed amount of testosterone.  Had Fed Ex been open late in Milwaukee, he would be sitting out 50 games.

We are racist for thinking racism still exists in our society?

Please answer this question:

Do you think Braun being the reigning MVP had anything to do with him winning his appeal?

Braun was cleared on a technicality because his legal team was smart enough to go that route.  It's pretty obvious Braun at least denies taking any sort of PED (you and I will really never know), but it simply would not have been smart for his legal team to dispute just the test.  Braun's best chance to get exonerated was to attack the chain of custody and not the integrity of the test itself.  Look how attacking the integrity of the test worked for the 11 players before him...

However, as far as the test goes, I do think there is some cause for concern in how high the synthetic ratio.  From what I hear the levels were so high that he either that death was actually a risk, and that for him to test that high he would have basically had to have shot up that day.  It is absolutely possible that he could have shot up that day, but if he did, would it really be possible for him to pass a test just 2 days later?

You still think the man cheated. That was my point. If he cheated he would have been suspended for 50 games. The man is innocent. He did not cheat. Got it? Do you seriously think he got let off because FedEx was closed? That's some funny shit you believe. 

And no he didn't get let off because he was the MVP. Bonds was the home run king and he didn't get let off.

you are racist if you think braun was cleared for the sole reason he was white as has been mentioned.  period.

i am not saying you said that, but that is racism and jealousy at its finest.

I trusted Marion Jones, Jason Giambi, Roger Clemens and Alex Rodriguez.

I will never trust another athlete again.

Let's see. What team does Braun play for? What team does commish have a former tie to?

Coincidence?

I would say it had a 0.05 % chance of being tampered with

Closer to 0.00000%

No one had a motive, and it was basically impossible.

Braun isn't White.  He's Jewish.

That's like saying Braun doesn't play in major league baseball, he plays in the national league.  Pretty sure religion doesn't determine race.
