50 game suspension. Bummer. Glad I don't care that much for baseball.

I did hear that when he heard it he demanded an immediate retest and he passed the second one. They do have false positives from time to time.
Of course more time had passed and perhaps he would know things were out of his system by then?
Im not speaking of the fact that he is innocent or guilty, because I dont know and really nobody does I guess, but things do leave systems as time passes just to speak of the slip side of it.

Why don't they have an "A" sample and a "B" sample like they do in other sports?

That is an interesting point, because I was under the assumption that they did in baseball. Usually they test and then some time passes before results are known and players are notified. If that is the case, other things are plausible such as things leaving his system.
While I hate to hear it about anybody, I am glad sports are at least trying to clean it up.
If they do that, aren't they taken at the same time? No time for anything to leave their system?Yeah I thought they did this in baseball too, and thought that both samples had to test positive before they'd initiate a suspension or anything. I hate seeing people at that level doing this sort of thing. Really makes things rough for the game when people still try to skirt the rules.

SpoilerAccording to sources cited in the ESPN.com report, Braun submitted a urine test during the playoffs in October that showed a level of testosterone high enough to trigger a positive test. A second test on the sample revealed that the testosterone was exogenous, or from outside Braun's body, meaning it was generated by synthetic substance.
A source close to Braun told ESPN.com that the outfielder immediately requested a second test after learning of the results. The source said the second test was not positive.
Seems like they did have 2 specimens from the 1st sample that were tested at different dates. Then, RB requested to have another, 2nd sample taken which was not positive.
