Wow you have some hate for Braun.

I also think he'd probably been "juicing" in some form or fashion for his entire career, but what do I know?

It's not hate for Braun. I don't like people who cheat and get off on a technicality. This goes for any walk of life not just athletes. It is similar to people who sue when they know that they were at fault or caused the problem.

It is tough to say though since you are judging him without knowing all the facts. Would you rather have him take a 50 game suspension even if he was innocent or would you rather have him get off on a technicality since he knew that is how he could get off?

I understand your point and I personally believe in Karma and if he was juicing it will come back to him.

I have had the above happen to me where I was sued because my dog barked at 2 bicylists as they rode by my in laws farm. The women got scared from my chocolate lab and rode off into the gravel fell over and broke her shoulder. They got $40k from my insurance company even though my dog never touched her. Personally I believe they will get what they deserve in the long run so I get your point.

Those "technicalities" are in place for a reason.

Umps giveth and umps taketh away. In Johan Santana's case, they definitely giveth. Too bad Armando Galarraga didn't get the same respect.

I really don't blame Melky, cause quite frankly he sucked balls without the juice.

I don't care much for Victor Conte, but it's hard to imagine there's anyone on the planet who knows more about this subject?

Nothing new regarding testosterone (see Landis, Floyd). Just like anything else, atheletes (or horse trainers) are going to push the envelope. Most are smart enough to stay below the testing limits. Some, make mistakes or are dumb enough to get caught.

Anyone who believes most atheletes are clean, aren't taking every advantage and pushing the testing envelope, are naive.
