Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers, the NL MVP for 2011, has his star tainted over his recent positive test for performance enhancing drugs (PED's). The left-field slugger says that he will challenge the test results.
If the test is accurate, Braun will miss 50 games next season. That would be a huge blow to Milwaukee as their team's other slugger, Prince Fielder, is expected to sign somewhere else this off-season.
Oddly enough, this news about Braun comes on the heels of a report that Manny Ramirez has been reinstated for active duty. Ramirez would also need to serve a 50-game suspension - if he plays again - for violations of the same PED policy.
Manny's rep has been tarnished for awhile now. It's too bad to see a young star like Braun also dim.
