Ryan Braun has won his appeal against a suspension for using PEDs
http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/7608360/milwaukee-brewers-ryan-braun-wins-appeal-50-game-suspensionJust read the report and it appears that an arbitrator may have thrown out the case because of a "chain of custody" problem (full details of the ruling haven't yet been released).
Its going to be interesting to see how Braun reacts when reporters ask why his sample was positive.
As a semi-Brewers fan, in one way I'm happy that he'll be available to play. However, on first glance, it does look like he might have got away with cheating.
I see that MLB is considering appealing the ruling. Therefore, this specific case isn't over yet.
It may also lead to other players who have failed tests (cough...... Manny Being Manny...... cough) appealing on similar grounds.
The ruling could also have implications in the wider sporting world if it turns out that chain-of-custody and testing procedures have not been adhered to elsewhere.
