Some notes and quotes from Ryan Braun‘s press conference last year:
• “If I had done this intentionally or unintentionally I’d have been the first one to admit it. I truly believe this substance never entered my body.”
• “It hasn’t been easy. Lots of times I wanted to come out and tell the entire story, attack everybody like I’ve been attacked. My name was dragged through the mud. But at the end of the day I recognized what was best for the game of baseball.”
• “Today is for anyone who has been wrongly accused and everyone who stood up for what’s right. It’s about future players and the game of baseball.”
• “I will continue to take the high road. We won because the truth was on my side. I was a victim of a process that completely broke down and failed as it was applied to me in this case. Today’s about making sure this never happens to anyone else who plays this game.”
• “The system as it was applied to me in this case was fatally flawed.”
• “At the end of the day, I know the truth. My friends, family, teammates, and the Brewers organization know the truth.”
• “We spoke to biochemists and scients, and asked them how difficult it would be for someone to taint the sample. They said, if they were motivated, it would be extremely easy.”
• “Ultimately, as I sit here today, the system worked because I was innocent and I was able to prove my innocence.”
such scum. idgaf if you're gonna juice, but to go off on a holier than thou tangent after getting off on a technicality is ridiculous.
According to Buster Olney, Braun coming to a "plea bargain" with MLB and admitting the Biogensis records about him are correct is really bad news for the rest of the players... arbitrator can use this as evidence to authenticate the rest of the Biogenesis testimony.
