Milwaukee, WI - On Monday Ryan Braun, one of the Brewers star player met with teammates before their game and discussed his decision not to appeal his 65 game suspension. The Major League Baseball (MLB) Commission decided to suspend Braun for the rest of the season without pay in connection with the MLB illegal doping scandal.
Braun in a released MLB statement says, "I wish to apologize to ...all of the baseball fans especially those in Milwaukee, the great Brewers organization, and my teammates...I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions." Braun's statement was posted on the MLB Twitter account.
Tony Bosch, founder and operator of the Biogenesis of America, an anti-aging clinic had met with the MLB Commission and provided documents indicating phone orders and shipments of performance-enhancing drugs to 21 players suspected of taking them.
Bosch also testified against Milwaukee Brewer Ryan Braun, Yankee star Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod) and 19 other players in the league for taking performing-enhancement drugs.
Rodriguez is waiting his suspension as well, which evidence against him is more incriminating than Braun's. The other players are also facing up to 100 games suspensions.
