June 5, 201313 yr It was but no sense in letting the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy theory. Get your head out of the sand....If it were anyone other than Braun there's no chance that suspension gets overturned.

The arbitrator, not Selig, determined that the rules put in place for drug testing were not followed when the sample was held by the tester at his house over the weekend. Didn't have anything to do with the player but with the rules agreed upon in the CBA.

June 5, 201313 yr I've got some ocean front property here in Kentucky I'll sell ya, if you really believe that. So you think a completely independent arbitrator cared that it was Ryan Braun? You think they would allow Devin Mesoraco's sample to be handled the same? What makes you believe that it was overturned because it was Braun? I can get a copy of the CBA and show you where my theory is supported.
June 5, 201313 yr The following is part of the addendum to the MLB drug testing policy which covers what happens with a sample once it is taken. SECURITY AND SHIPMENT OF SPECIMENS A. The urine specimens and chain-of-custody forms are now ready for transport. B. The Sample Boxes shall be placed in the appropriate packaging. 1. 1 to 6 samples: a Federal Express Labpak will be used. 2. 7 + samples: a brown cardboard box will be used. Be sure to pack any empty space with newspaper to avoid movement while in transit. C. The package is to be sent by Federal Express to: [ADDRESS] --SNIP-- E. If the specimen is not immediately prepared for shipment, the Collector shall ensure that it is appropriately safeguarded during temporary storage. 1. The Collector must keep the chain of custody intact. 2. The Collector must store the samples in a cool and secure location. F. When all of the specimens have been collected at the collection site, the Collector shall take the specimens in the appropriate packaging to a FedEx Customer Service Center for shipment. The specimens cannot be placed in a FedEx Drop Box location. G. The customer copy of the FedEx airbill should be sent (by Federal Express) to CDT along with Pages 2 and 3 of the chain-of-custody form, test list and any Problem Collection Logs. For complete paperwork distribution, see MLB Paperwork Distribution Chart (Exhibit 5). The part in bold is why Braun's suspension was overturned. It was not taken to a FedEx Customer Service Center once collected even though there was one open nearby.

How dare you bring logic into this. Now go back and bury your head in the sand at your ocean front KY property you bought from UKMF.
June 5, 201313 yr I'd say PED's Ban them for life period. Why just PED's? Is the rest of cheating just all in good fun?
June 5, 201313 yr Really, is there any league in professional sports that is really sincere about cleaning up the drug usage? With all the new bio-tech stuff, can you really police it?

Does this mean that Lawnboy had something to do with all this?
June 6, 201313 yr Author As for A-Rod. Hope he goes down and goes down hard. Hoping he get's throat cancer???
June 6, 201313 yr Did they go back and punish those that owned slaves? I get what you're saying but Selig is acting like he now cares when he clearly didn't. He cares because baseball fans care. This.

The arbitrator, not Selig, determined that the rules put in place for drug testing were not followed when the sample was held by the tester at his house over the weekend. Didn't have anything to do with the player but with the rules agreed upon in the CBA. Then the arbitrator was promptly fired by MLB...
June 6, 201313 yr I've got some ocean front property here in Kentucky I'll sell ya, if you really believe that. Lets say I buy into this notion. Then explain to me why MLB has such a hard-on to go after him again? Conspiracy theories can be fun, but no matter how hard you try to jam a square puzzle piece into a hole made for a circle, it ain't gonna fit...
