Ryan Braun, the reigning National League MVP, had his 50-game drug suspension overturned on Thursday in a somewhat shocking development. No player had ever won an appeal of such a suspension in the past. Braun's lawyers never argued about the Milwaukee outfielder taking any sort of performance-enhancing drug, instead they focused on the handling of his urine sample and won. "This," one baseball official said, "is like a criminal getting off because he wasn't read his Miranda rights." The belief is that Braun was exonerated because of a loophole. "It's a kick in the gut to clean athletes," said Travis Tygart, the CEO of the United States Anti-Doping Association.
