National League MVP Ryan Braun, who last season led the Milwaukee Brewers to their first division title in nearly three decades, has tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug and faces a 50-game suspension if the initial finding is upheld, two sources familiar with the case told "Outside the Lines."

If they could strip him, I highly doubt they would give Kemp the award.

PEDs don't turn you into a great player either so that comment was stupid about Kemp out performing him still lol.

They never stripped A-Rods MVPs and he admitted to using in his Texas years.

Anyhow, Braun's an idiot for taking shit.

Not understanding why people around the media are saying this is so bad for the MLB. Yea it sucks one of your best players got busted, but that's the point of the tests.. Bust the guys who are using, suspend them and move on.

I was shocked to see this. I like Braun as a player and, while he's disputing it, it's gonna be tough to believe him regardless

Wow, he just had his best season ever and now these test results. Lead the league in slugging, the year he took PED's, coincidence?

Now I dont feel as bad that Reyes beat Braun for the batting title, lol. The dude is a good guy, but I guess he made the wrong decision. Its gonna be interesting to see what Braun says about this, there has never been a successful appeal in the MLB.

Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun took the standard defense following his positive test for performance-enhancing drugs on Saturday night.

Braun released a statement through his agent saying he'll appeal the ruling before telling USA Today: "It's BS."

ESPN.com has reported that Braun volunteered to take a second test that came back negative, but Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports writes that "not one positive test has been overturned."

Braun's positive test came during the playoffs.
