My Fantasy Baseball Championship is tainted! However, McCutchen is not as good for a keeper. Braun was supposed to be on this dynasty for years to come.

Wasn't there a rumor on this board that Joe Crede had the same thing?

Not the same thing as synthetic testosterone etc. That "herpes" steroid is probably some form of cortisone etc.

Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun, who faces a 50-game suspension for testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug, is expected to speak at a banquet where he will accept his award for being voted National League MVP.

Braun will appear at the annual awards dinner of the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Saturday in New York, a spokesman for the player told The New York Times

Please, you weren't close to being right, but keep on believing what you want.

Maybe he was prescribed corticosteroids for his herpes. Who knows? He's supposed to talk today so maybe we get more answers.

Corticosteroid Therapy for Uncomplicated Herpes Zoster

The use of steroids in conjunction with an antiviral for uncomplicated herpes zoster is controversial.

The addition of oral corticosteroids has been evaluated in patients treated with acyclovir in 2 controlled studies.[28, 35] Steroids were found to accelerate the resolution of acute neuritis and provide a clear improvement in quality-of-life measures in comparison to those patients treated with antivirals alone. The use of oral steroids had no effect on the development or duration of postherpetic neuralgia. Oral steroids have not been studied with valacyclovir or famciclovir, so the benefit is unknown.

Nonoral forms of adjunctive steroid therapy in acute herpes zoster have also been studied. A study involving a single epidural injection of steroids and local anesthetics given in conjunction with a standard regimen of oral antivirals and analgesics was found to modestly improve zoster-associated pain for 1 month over treatment without steroids. As above, no effect in preventing postherpetic neuralgia was noted.[36]

In light of the potential adverse effects of and contraindications to corticosteroid use, current expert opinion suggests limiting their involvement to cases of moderate to severe zoster pain, or in which significant neurological symptoms (such as facial paralysis) or CNS involvement is present (and use of corticosteroids is not otherwise contraindicated).[16]

The optimal duration of steroid therapy is not known. If prescribed, it seems reasonable for steroids to be used concurrently with antiviral therapy. The duration of steroid use should not extend beyond the period of antiviral therapy. Steroids should not be given alone (without antiviral therapy), owing to concern about the promotion of viral replication.

This whole thing is a fuckin joke. MLB fucks up yet another off the filed issue. It's amazing that such a great game is being run by a bunch of fuckin idiots.

Yeah, that was pretty much on the nose except for the misspellings. Oh yeah, and it is HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), not HIPPA. And it wasn't enforced because of HIPAA, but because of chain of custody concerns. But other than that, you were 100% right! :eye:
