Thought I would share this. As a Chemist, I find it fascinating, especially the comments

Catchers are like prostate exams -- comes a time where you can't put if off any longer, so you may as well get it over with and take it up the butt - The Forum Funklord
I'd rather be wrong for the right reasons than right for the wrong reasons - The Forum Funklord
Always remember, never forget, never say always or never. - The Forum Funklord
You know you have to seek therapy when you see one of your pitchers had a bad night and it takes you 15 minutes to find the team you have him on. - The Forum Funklord

Re: Braun article
Taken with a grain of salt, I found the comments more informative than the article but both were great reads, thanks for the link.

Re: Braun article
yeah, it was mostly Will Carroll's tweet that caught my attention, as well as the comments
The key is the raw amount of testosterone is not measured, but the RATIO of synthetic to natural, not the amounts of each.
Natural has more C-13 than synthetic (think carbon dating).
The comments did a nice job of explaining why those could have been the results, or at least introduced reasonable doubt with respect to their accuracy.
On a related note, I only saw parts, but it is my understanding that Braun NAILED his presser.
