Has PED Saga Altered Your Opinion of Ryan Braun?

The Brewers slugger could face a 100-game suspension after refusing to answer questions about his connection to a Biogenesis clinic and its former owner.

The Milwaukee Brewers’ already troubled season could take a big hit following the All-Star break when slugger Ryan Braun is expected to be suspended by Major League Baseball — possibly for 100 games, ESPN reports.

Ryan Braun reportedly refused to answer questions from MLB regarding his connection to the south Florida Biogenesis clinic and its former operator Tony Bosch, according to ESPN. 

MLB has been in the process of interviewing players suspected of buying performance-enhancing drugs, including Braun, whose names were listed on documents from Biogenesis.

MLB told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel it was "premature" to say a decision had been made to suspend Braun because of buying performance-enhancing drugs from Bosch.

With that said, we asked fans of Oak Creek Patch on Facebook what they thought. Does this report affect your attitude toward the Brewers' star? Does he deserve the benefit of the doubt regarding the possible use of PEDs...or is the evidence beginning to stack up against him?

Jim Noonan III: No... I believe Ryan and think the league got it's nose out of joint when he won the appeal where THEY set the rules.

Adine Orlowski Mikolajczak: Who advised him not answer any questions?? He should be up front and defending himself.

Jill Brooks: He's used up all his second chances in my book

Lorene J. Wenzler-Harvey: I am sincerely disappointed. I also think he was deceitful in his lying to Aaron Rodgers who stood up in support of him. The HARD TRUTH is still the best. He has lost his integrity, and maybe some friends, and lots of fans!

Patti Hittman: he's a liar. get him off the team.

Cathy Megna: He just had a great hit! Leave him alone.......witch hunt by the league!
