Ryan Braun released a statement Thursday through the Brewers' PR department stating that he will speak to the media once he's allowed.

It was the first comment made by Braun since being suspended Monday for violations of Major League Baseball's drug policy.

"See Mark [Attanasio's] comments or reference what he said," the statement read. "When I am able to, I will speak.

"I know it was difficult for everybody, but I was not, and still am not, legally allowed to say anything yet."
