Are there dates on those scraps of paper?. I have not found any article that has mentioned that.

Why is that Relevant? Well, if all of this began before the initial allegations in 2011, then it is all moot. He employed them as experts. The info they gave was not worth the $20 to 30 large that they were charged. With all due respect, I have worked with people of the Jewish persuasion all my life. They are extremely frugal with their money. Ryan is a business man, and has taken his hometown discount and built outside interests to add to his earnings. He is not going to pay someone for services not rendered.

Think this through before you give some inane comment.

Hey, I didn’t know Pedro Gonzalez posted here!

I don’t find it self-contradictory at all to believe that someitmes someone should go unpunished, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t do it. I think

1) If due process is not followed, someone should be left alone; we shouldn’t even hear about the investigation.

2) I am still free to form my own opinion, which is that if his sealed drug sample contained testosterone, he was juicing.

Hence, he’s guilty, but he should go unpunished. No contradiction; punishments must be by the book.

Does that make me a “zealot” who “cares nothing for due process”? I would say, no. And you’re starting to piss me off with these constant insults to a broad group that apparently includes me.

I care a great deal about due process. Protecting the rights of the accused is essential. Ryan Braun’s rights were violated. He should not be punished. But he still took PED’s. None of this changes my personal opinion of his guilt. Maybe I shouldn’t know he failed a drug test, but I do.

I have yet to see any mechanism for testosterone to spontaneously appear in a sealed vial. If you find one, let me know. But until then, I’m still going to think he was a cheater who got off.

Lawyer 1 “We need consultants to determine how this regular urine could have become testosterony by sitting in a fridge.”

Lawyer 2 “I know, lets look up some anti-aging clinics in Miami in the phone book. We’ll pay them even if their credentials don’t hold up.”

Lawyer 1 “That sounds reasonable.”

Absolute BS, Craig. You are a joke.

On the other hand, the fact does remain that the guy did piss in a cup that night. And the cup was tested. And it contained a banned substance. Those are facts. They are undeniable.

Now, you can say it wasn’t his piss. Or that it was a tainted sample. Or that sitting in a fridge for 36 hours made it magically grow the banned substance. Or someone was out to get Braun and switched the cups in a way where the lab wouldn’t know they were switched.

Or you can say it was his piss with the banned substance that he was taking. And he legitimately got away with it through a technicality that is perfectly acceptable.

You choose #1. I choose #2. Where’s the disconnect and why all the personal attacks? I don’t care that you choose #1. Why do you care so much that I choose #2?
