A man that claims he is the collector who took Ryan Braun's urine samples last fall says he followed the same protocol with the slugger as he had with hundreds of previous samples. In an e-mail sent Tuesday, Dino Laurenzi Jr. said he issued the statement "to set the record straight" about his role in testing Braun, whose 50-game suspension under baseball's drug policy was overturned last week. "This situation has caused great emotional distress for me and my family. I have worked hard my entire life, have performed my job duties with integrity and professionalism, and have done so with respect to this matter and all other collections in which I have participated," Laurenzi said. Braun tested positive in October for elevated testosterone. His case marked the first time a baseball player has successfully challenged a drug-related penalty in a grievance. Friday, Braun proclaimed his innocence. He said the collector had kept the samples for 44 hours in his home, believing that the FedEx office he was to use to ship the samples for testing was closed. Braun said because of the delay, the testing was "fatally flawed."
