[外電] Braun scandal

Braun scandal reminds us of man whose reputation he ruined
The big names in ESPN's big report are Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun. I keep
thinking of another:
最近ESPN報告提到的兩大咖 A-Rod 跟 Braun, 但我想到另一個人
Dino Laurenzi, Jr.
You remember Laurenzi, don't you? The last time you heard his name -- the only
time you heard his name -- was in February 2012, when Braun set Laurenzi's
reputation and character on fire out of personal convenience. It looks more and
more like a despicable act, much worse than whatever Braun did with
performance-enhancing drugs. It looks more and more like Braun peed in a cup,
then relieved himself on Laurenzi.
記得他嗎 2012年2月幫Braun把尿的那位藥檢員 Braun口中毀壞他名聲的人
Laurenzi was a sample collector. A working guy. Anonymous to us. Braun had
tested positive for elevated testosterone shortly after finishing his 2011
season, when he was named National League MVP. Braun appealed his 50-game
suspension and won on a technicality: There was a slight delay between when
he submitted his sample and when it was sent to the lab. Laurenzi had kept it
in his house; the sample had been collected on a Saturday, and he didn't think
it would be shipped until Monday.
Laurenzi 跟我們一樣 只是個領死薪水的上班族
Braun拿到2011 NL MVP (Kemp:....)之後的尿檢沒過 但他不服 而且上訴成功不用禁賽
只因為Laurenzi把他的尿 週末放在他家冰箱 沒有照程序馬上送出
There was no evidence that Laurenzi had tampered with the sample. Braun had a
20-to-1 ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone; a ratio higher than 4-to-1
is considered a positive result. A second test determined that excess
testosterone came from an external source -- i.e., performance-enhancing drugs
沒有證據顯示Laurenzi有動過那瓶尿 而且直上火星的數值都指向Braun*有吃藥
Braun fought the suspension, which was his right, and an arbitrator ruled in
his favor. And this is what he said afterward:
"There were a lot of things that we learned about the collector, about the
collection process, about the way that the entire thing worked, that made us
very concerned and very suspicious about what could have actually happened."
Braun: 千錯萬錯 都是藥檢員They的錯
A lot of things? He didn't name them. He just smeared a man who was merely
doing his job. Laurenzi, a Wisconsin resident, had all of a sudden been tabbed
as a guy who got one of the state's marquee athletes in trouble. Try living
with that.
千錯萬錯? Braun抹黑了盡忠職守的藥檢員
Now comes the ESPN report that Major League Baseball is looking to suspend
Braun for 100 games -- 50 for whatever he got from the Biogenesis "wellness"
clinic, and 50 for denying he used PEDs.
皇天不負苦心人 啊不是 是法網恢恢 疏而不漏 不是不報 時候未到
Braun 可能要被禁賽100場
So, what do you think, everybody? Do you think Dino Laurenzi Jr. intentionally
sabotaged Ryan Braun -- and did it so well that even Braun couldn't produce any
evidence of it? Or do you think that maybe an elite ballplayer used
performance-enhancing drugs?
你還覺得Laurenzi故意栽贓給Braun嗎? 還是你覺得他有用藥呢?
And how would you feel if you were Laurenzi now? Over the past year, Laurenzi
has declined my interview requests. But you can be sure he is watching.
如果你是Laurenzi 你會怎麼想呢?
雖然這幾年他都拒絕受訪 但他現在正在看
Braun is entitled to defend himself again. That will be difficult this time.
According to ESPN, drug-supplier Tony Bosch will testify against him; last
time, Braun was only fighting a test. And the public probably won't want to
hear Braun's defense now. You can sell people on one botched drug sample, but
another accusation a year later kills your credibility. But again, Braun
deserves to be heard.
Braun這次一樣在辯護 不過應該比上次困難
Bosch的報告比上次的尿還猛
If he is guilty of steroid use, I understand why he did it. There was a ton of
money at stake, he was driven to be great, and he could rationalize that the
drugs were illegal but not harmful, or that they helped him heal but not
produce, or that everybody was doing it -- the human mind can convince itself
of almost anything.
如果證明Braun是Braun* 我能理解啦 畢竟錢跟表現成正比
I would like to believe -- I do believe -- that if I were a professional
athlete, I would stay far away from PEDs. I've never been into drugs, unless
you count beer or dark chocolate, but more importantly, I think I would object
to using PEDs on moral grounds. But I do understand why some athletes use
banned substances. Ambition breeds mistakes. It happens.
What I do not understand is destroying the reputation of a man who did nothing
to you. And if Braun is guilty now, and was really guilty last time, then that
is what he did. Dino Laurenzi Jr. deserved better than that. I hope you
remember him. I hope Ryan Braun does, too.
Braun: 乾爹 救我
Kemp: 我的MVP 一去不復返...

這傢伙
在他的生涯中 有機會成為不錯的邊角內野手
但須克服脆弱的身體 避免成為DL常客
他仍有空間提升他平庸的打擊爆發力
但仍舊無法造成全壘打威脅
