No reasoning has yet been given for Ryan Braun's appeal being upheld, just like no reasoning was given for why the original failed drug test wouldn't have really been failed. (*Confused?)
That said... Braun's 50-game suspension was overturned today by Major League Baseball, making Rhino the first player ever to do so. It also deals Bud Selig a serious blow in his attempt to distance himself from a culture of cheating that he helped to create, exploit, and then convict.
From TSN.ca and the Associated Press:
"I am very pleased and relieved by today's decision," Braun said in a statement. "It is the first step in restoring my good name and reputation. We were able to get through this because I am innocent and the truth is on our side.
"We provided complete co-operation throughout, despite the highly unusual circumstances. I have been an open book, willing to share details from every aspect of my life as part of this investigation, because I have nothing to hide. I have passed over 25 drug tests in my career, including at least three in the past year."
