According to ESPN's Outside the Lines, 2011 National League MVP Ryan Braun has tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug. This breaking news won't come as a surprise to the Milwaukee Brewers outfielder, who knew about the positive urine test results in late October, around a month before winning the NL MVP trophy. Today, Braun's spokesman issued a statement:
None
The sources from Outside the Lines revealed that a major red flag from the positive result was in response to elevated levels of testosterone in Braun's system. Following their initial discovery, Major League Baseball asked the World Anti-Doping Agency lab in Montreal to perform a secondary test. That analysis indicated that the Brewers outfielder's testosterone spike came from outside his body. If everything holds true, Braun will face a 50-game suspension which will take effect at the start of next season.
