I for one was very surprised he was able to avoid the suspension. It really came down to some incompetent testing procedures. Braun had better stay clean from now on - the Commish will be watching.
In terms of the steroid issue, it sure seems hypocritical in some cases. The same year it was blowing up, SI features Brian Roberts using high def contacts to improve (i.e. enhance) his vision. In addition, I find the the Viagra commercials flashing behind home plate during the games as very amusing given MLB's stance on PEDs.
Of course, I never thought that using too much pine tar on a bat was a bad thing either. From a fantasy perspective, having Braun active the entire season opens up possibilities with the third pick in the draft.
