MLB To Suspend Braun, Rodriguez, Others

5:07pm: Major League Baseball is expected to suspend Ryan Braun, Alex Rodriguez, and as many as 20 players connected to the Biogenesis clinic sometime after next week's All-Star break, several sources told T.J. Quinn and Mike Fish of ESPN.com. Commissioner Bud Selig's office is considering 100-game bans for Braun and Rodriguez, the punishment for a second offense, despite neither player receiving a previous suspension for violating MLB drug rules.

Suspensions appear to be a certainty for both players and the only issue in question is the length of time that they'll be sidelined. One source said that the league's argument would be that they, and possibly other players, committed multiple offenses by receiving PEDs from Tony Bosch's clinic and lying about it.

Ha! Ryan Fraud gets exposed as a cheater! Can't think of too many people more deserving than him.

Sounds like Selig's been taking notes from another commissioner we all know and love...

Braun lucked out the first time on a technicality. I have no problem with the hammer coming down hard on him.

I agree...fuck Braun

Selig just announced he's suspending James Harrison, to take effect if Harrison ever signs a baseball contract.

Good, they all deserve it and I'm glad that every Pirate kept themselves clean.
