Tom Haudricourt at the JS reported on the latest a few days ago —
Panel chairman Shyam Das was given more time to deliver the three-person verdict as to whether Braun must serve a 50-game suspension to begin the 2012 season. The decision is expected to be announced before the NL MVP is required to report to the Brewers’ spring camp on Feb. 24.
No MLB official would speculate on the probable date of the announcement because the process is intended to be confidential. If Braun becomes the first major-league player to be exonerated for a positive drug test, the Commissioner’s Office would make no announcement, leaving it to the player’s representatives or the union to do so.
If Braun is suspended, he still would be allowed to participate in spring training, including exhibition games.
Whenever a decision comes, what do you think it’ll be – suspended or exonerated?
I’m being optimistic…that he will be cleared. The rumor mill has it that he was being treated for either an STD or LOW testosterone, which is a male medical condition that often prescribes medication to increase the testoserone level. I am hoping that it’s the latter.
no one has been exonerated ever before, but I really think he will be the first
I hope so at least
