Yesterday the New York Daily News was the first to report that Ryan Braun, the National League’s Most Valuable Player, pleaded his case before a three-member panel that will decide whether he faces a 50-game suspension for testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone. The appeal came just two days before Braun will accept his MVP award at the New York Chapter of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America’s dinner Saturday night at the New York Hilton, sources familiar with Braun told the Daily News.
Braun and his representatives have strongly denied that he took a performance-enhancing drug and were expected to challenge the "insanely high" levels of his test on several fronts, as the Daily News previously reported. According to a source, Braun tested "insanely high, the highest ever for anyone who has ever taken a test, twice the level of the highest test ever taken."
As you have all probably read, Braun has argued that the results of the test were due to a medicine he was taking for "personal medical reasons".
Bleeeding Yankee Blue will continue to follow the Ryan Braun case as it develops so be sure to check back. And for all your latest Yankee news be sure to #BYB on twitter.
