Braun is the first Major League Baseball player to have any game suspension revoked for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. The commissioner's office and the Anti-Doping Agency are not happy about the decision, but Braun could not be happier. The court ruled the day before spring training that he was not guilty, which allowed him to go and not serve a fifty game suspension. Braun will continue to make over $145.5 million over the course of a decade. Braun is happy that he will be able to restore his "good" name and reputation.
I see Braun and any professional or amateur athlete who has used performance-enhancing drugs as a liar and cheater. I am not happy to see the loose decision by the court. I know I had no partaking in the decision, but if any athlete is tested positive, then multiple tests should be done. Also, there should be some type of suspension, even if it just ten games. Hopefully, it would be enough of a threat to a professional athlete who should love his or her sport and not want to miss one day. Should the court have let Braun go so easily?
I believe if the test was positive then it was positive, even if it is a false positive something in the test wasn't right. I think that Braun is guilty no matter what.
