Ryan Braun Wins Appeal, Will Not Be Suspended By Mike Axisa [February 23, 2012 at 4:09pm CST] Ryan Braun has won the appeal of his failed banned substance test and will not be suspended for the first 50 games of the season, reports Tom Haudricourt of The Journal Sentinel. The union officially announced the win, saying both parties agreed to the announcement despite what is usually a confidential process. MLB has issued a statement saying it "vehemently disagrees" with the decision. "It is the first step in restoring my good name and reputation," said Braun in a statement passed along by MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. "We were able to get through this because I am innocent ... This is not just about one person, but about all current and future players, and thankfully the process worked." Haudricourt says the appeal went Braun's way not because of the test result, but because of a technicality with the testing process. CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman and The New York Post's Joel Sherman report that part of Braun's argument was that the sample was not shipped in a timely fashion and that the chain of command was broken for two days, meaning the sample was left unprotected (Twitter links). Independent arbitrator Shyam Das ruled in favor of the technicality, giving him the win by a 2-1 margin. The reigning NL MVP is the first player to have a suspension successfully overtuned through the appeals process. http://0rz.tw/woKxi -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.24.0.249
