Not that it's any of our business, but I'm sure you're wondering just like us, what possible secret ailments could Braun have that require synthetic testosterone for treatment?
The obvious conclusion for some asinine sports blogs out there is that he has herpes. Of course. First of all, page views and hits will never be so important to us that we would create a rumor that a player has a sexually transmitted disease in the hopes people will visit our site and spread the rumor... kind of like herpes. That would be stupid and irresponsible... kind of like having unprotected sex.
There are many illnesses and issues in which testosterone is used as a treatment and/or cure. Since we're too lazy to speculate, we'll just sit back and wait to see if Braun decides to share the news with the public after his appeal, if this is indeed the case. Either way, he'll most likely be suspended for 50 games to start off the 2012 season; it's still his responsibility to know exactly what he's putting into his body and to make sure it's within MLB regulations.
Herpes. How dumb.

I read that same article and was appalled not only by its content, but by how poorly it was written. The "writer" added that question mark to the title much, much later too. Ass.
Hopefully his suspension will be reduced to 25 games or something. I realize he's responsible for knowing what's in the medication he's taking (hope he changes doctors now) but if he honestly wasn't using it to enhance his performance, then he should be cut some slack.
Would you rather be known as a cheater or a guy who has herpes?
Guy who has herpes.
