When Braun's name first surfaced at the beginning of the year in Biogenesis
documents leaked to various news agencies showing payments owed to clinic
operator Tony Bosch, Braun said his attorneys merely used Bosch as a
consultant for a successful appeal of the October 2011 positive test for
elevated testosterone levels. Bosch originally corroborated that statement
but later cut a deal with MLB to turn over all the evidence he had on players
connected to his clinic.
Braun的名子今年年初第一次出现是在Biogenesis文件中，文件中显示Braun有付款给
诊所营运者Tony Bosch，但Braun说是他的律师雇用Bosch来当2011年10月药检上诉的顾问
Bosch最初证实这样的讲法，但后来跟MLB官方达成协议，咬出其他与他诊所有关的球员。
Because Bosch could be portrayed as an unreliable witness during an appeal,
he would have had to supply concrete evidence of Braun's guilt to MLB to make
a suspension stick. MLB officials met with Braun on June 29 in Pittsburgh to
tell him what their investigation had uncovered. Braun declined to answer any
questions about Biogenesis, as did other players who were interviewed, but
must have known at that time that he would be suspended.
由于Bosch在上诉期间已经被当成一个不被信任的证人，所以他必须提出强而有力的证据来
证明Braun在禁药事件是有罪的。而MLB官方在6月29日在匹兹堡跟Braun碰面，并告诉他调
查所发现的事实，但Braun拒绝回答任何有关Biogenesis的问题，就像其他在名单上的球员
，不过大概都已经知道他即将会被禁赛了。
Braun, who recently returned from a one-month stint on the disabled list
because of the thumb injury, has played in only 61 games this season, batting
.298 with nine home runs and 38 RBI. He did not play Sunday, getting time to
rest the thumb, after playing two straight games for the first time since
going on the DL.
Braun这季因为大拇指受伤的原因，已经在DL躺了一个月。这季他只打了61场比赛，他的打
击成绩是AVG.298 9HR 38RBI。在出DL后连续两场出赛后，星期天为了保护他受伤的拇指，
他并未出赛。
Braun had staunchly denied using PEDs since news leaked to ESPN on Dec. 10,
2011, of his positive drug test. The night of that report, Braun sent a text
message to the Journal Sentinel, saying, "This is all B.S. I am completely
innocent."
当2010年12月Braun被ESPN报导他药检呈阳性反应后，他曾坚决否认，并且传送讯息给
我们(Journal Sentinel)：“我是无辜的”
Braun won his appeal when independent arbitrator Shyam Das overturned the
drug test on a chain-of-custody defense centering on the delay in shipping of
Braun's urine sample to the testing lab in Montreal. Collector Dino Laurenzi
Jr. didn't ship the sample the day he collected it, maintaining the FedEx
office wasn't open. Instead, he waited 44 hours after the Saturday
collection, shipping it on a Monday, and Das ruled that cast doubt on the
condition of the sample.
Braun赢得上诉，是因为仲裁员Shyam Das认为延迟递交Braun的尿液检品，有疑虑。
检验员Dino Laurenzi Jr.没有在取得样品的同一天内将检品送出，他称FedEx的服务站
已经关闭了，而检品最后在44小时后的星期一送出。
MLB was so furious it released a statement saying it "vehemently" disagreed
with the ruling and later fired Das for overturning Braun's positive test.
Braun showed up at spring training the next day for a pre-arranged news
conference and came out swinging. He staunchly maintained his innocence,
criticizing what he called "a fatally flawed" process. And, while not using
Laurenzi's name, he openly questioned the collector's process and motives,
suggesting it "would be extremely easy" for him to tamper with the urine
sample.
MLB官方非常气愤的发出声明说，他们强烈反对Braun药检呈阳性的结果被推翻。
过几天Braun出现在春训预先安排好的记者会中，会场中他强烈维护自身的清白，
并且批评严重的致命程序瑕疵。当然他从未提到Laurenzi的名子，但是他公开质疑
检验员的程序以及动机，并且说窜改尿液检品是相当容易的。
Because Braun went on the attack against the drug program and the collector
rather than just being satisfied to win his appeal, some now are comparing
him to cyclist Lance Armstrong, the seven-time winner of the Tour de France
who for years went on the offensive against detractors before finally
admitting to doping.
因为Braun在赢得上诉后还频频攻击药检计画跟检验员，现有有些人把他跟赢得7次环法
冠军的阿姆斯壮相比较。
"If I had done this intentionally or unintentionally, I'd be the first one to
step up and say, 'I did it,'" Braun said that morning at Maryvale Baseball
Park in Phoenix. "By no means am I perfect, but if I've ever made any
mistakes in my life I've taken responsibility for my actions. I truly believe
in my heart and I would bet my life that this substance never entered my body
at any point.
Braun说：
“不管我是有意还是无意(吃禁药)，我都会是第一位知道的。我并非完美，但我必须对
我犯下的错误负责，在我心中我深信并且我敢打赌这种物质从未进入我的身体里。”
"I've always stood up for what is right. Today is about everybody who's been
wrongly accused, and everybody who has had to stand up for what is actually
right."
“我一直以来都会对的事情挺身而出，今天在大家有可能被冤枉的情况下，大家应该要
在实际上对"对的事情"站出来。”
In light of the news of Braun's suspension, words have never rung more hollow.
在Braun被联盟禁赛的消息传出后，这些话语听起来更是额外讽刺。
