釀酒人當地Milwaukee Journal Sentinel的報導應該不會有什麼偏頗吧？
Ryan Braun's character takes more hits
http://0rz.tw/R59H1
Reports: He cast doubt on collector's motives
By Tom Haudricourt of the Journal Sentinel
With word circulating that suspended Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun
was preparing a public apology as well as admission of using
performance-enhancing drugs, two reports surfaced Sunday night claiming
Braun told other players the collector of his urine sample in October 2011
had agendas against him.
就在傳聞密爾瓦基釀酒人強打Ryan Braun即將公開道歉並承認使用PED時，
兩篇在週日晚間曝光的新聞聲稱，Braun向其他球員表示藥檢員利用工作流
程攻擊他。
ESPN and Yahoo Sports reported that Braun, while waiting for the result of
his appeal of a positive drug test for elevated testosterone levels,
contacted players in the off-season of 2011-'12 to tell them collector
Dino Laurenzi Jr. was a Chicago Cubs fan as well as an anti-Semite.
Braun is Jewish.
ESPN與Yahoo Sports報導在等待宣布仲裁結果前，Braun聯絡其他球員並告
訴他們藥檢收集人員Dino Laurenzi Jr.是個百年粉，同時也是反猶份子。
而Braun是猶太人。
ESPN cited three unnamed sources saying Braun called veteran players
privately to lobby for their support while waiting for arbitrator
Shyam Das' verdict on his appeal. By claiming Laurenzi was a Cubs fan,
Braun implied the collector might try to harm the star of their NL Central
rival, the Brewers.
ESPN引用三個不公開的來源表示，Braun於獨立仲裁人Shyam Das宣布結果
前，私下聯絡其他球員希望取得他們的支持。藉著主張 Laurenzi是個百年
粉，Braun暗示藥檢員或許試圖傷害這個同屬國聯中區的釀酒人明星。
Sources told ESPN that when Braun made his pleas for support to other
players, he did so in anticipation that he would lose his appeal. Instead,
Braun became the first major-league player to win an appeal of a positive
drug test.
來源告訴ESPN說Braun請求其他球員的支援，他預期自己會輸掉仲裁。相反
地Braun反而成為MLB史上第一個測出藥檢陽性後卻能翻案成功的球員。
Yahoo Sports reported the players Braun contacted included the Los Angeles
Dodgers' Matt Kemp, whom he had beaten out for the NL MVP award in 2011,
Cincinnati's Joey Votto and Colorado's Troy Tulowitzki. The report said
Braun made the same claims about Laurenzi to Brewers teammates.
Yahoo Sports寫出Braun聯絡過的包括：在2011年國聯MVP票選中被他打敗
的洛杉磯道奇Matt Kemp，辛辛那提紅人的Joey Votto，以及科羅拉多落磯
的Troy Tulowitzki。報導中寫到Braun也向隊友作了相同的指控。
Braun is serving a 65-game suspension for evidence of PED use uncovered in
Major League Baseball's investigation of the notorious Biogenesis clinic.
Braun accepted that ban without appeal, saying only at the time that he had
made "mistakes."
Braun因為聯盟調查惡名昭彰的Biogenesis clinic時找到的證據受到65場
禁賽處分。Braun接受處罰沒有上訴，並表示只有那時他犯下錯誤。
A person "close to Braun" forwarded this statement to ESPN: "Ryan isn't
currently commenting on anything — rumor or reality — related to his
arbitration process or his suspension. He has acknowledged his mistakes,
accepted his punishment and is beginning to make amends and will comment
at an appropriate time."
一個＂親近Braun＂的來源向ESPN轉述，＂Ryan現在沒有發表任何關於仲裁
過程或禁賽的評論，不管謠言或事實。 他承認自己犯錯，接受處罰，開始
改過自新，也會在對的時候發表說明。＂
Yahoo Sports said a "source close to Laurenzi" said the anti-Semitism
allegation is untrue and that his fan allegiance is unclear. That report
also said a member of Braun's camp had leaked the name of Laurenzi to
Yahoo Sports via email in the spring of 2012 after the appeal.
至於Yahoo Sports提及＂接近Laurenzi＂的來源表示，反猶份子的說法不
是事實， Laurenzi支持什麼球隊也沒公開過。這篇報導中也說2012年仲裁
結果公佈後，Braun陣營透過電子郵件向Yahoo Sports透露藥檢收集員就是
Laurenzi。
Those reports dovetailed with the news Friday that a former friend,
Ralph Sasson, filed a defamation lawsuit against Braun in Milwaukee County.
Among the allegations in that lawsuit, Sasson claimed that Braun and his
agent, Nez Balelo, paid him $5,000 to do a background check on Laurenzi,
who lives in the Kenosha area.
這些報導跟週五Bruan前友人狀告 Braun誹謗的新聞吻合。在這次訴訟中，
Sasson主張Braun與他的經紀人Nez Balelo曾支付他5000美元，去調查住在
Kenosha Area的Laurenzi的背景。
In a news conference at the start of spring training in 2012 after winning
his appeal, Braun — without mentioning Laurenzi by name — strongly
attacked the motives of the collector in delaying shipment of his urine
sample for two days, suggesting that tampering was a strong possibility.
就在Braun贏得仲裁後的2012年春訓間一場記者會上， Braun儘管並未提及
Laurenzi 的名字，還是強烈質疑收集員延遲兩天寄送尿液樣本的動機，並
推測樣本非常有可能被動過手腳。
"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 said in his compelling speech at Maryvale Baseball Park.
Braun於Maryvale Baseball Park的演說中表示，＂我們獲知許多關於收集
人員與收集過程的訊息， 這些讓我們非常關心也非常懷疑有什麼事情確實
發生過。＂
Braun is expected to make his public apology and admission of PED use any
day. USA Today reported he had begun apologizing to baseball officals but
it was unclear whether Laurenzi was included. Braun placed telephone calls
to Brewers manager Ron Roenicke as well as certain teammates over the
weekend to provide details of his apology and admission of guilt.
Braun被預期在任何時間點都可能會公開道歉並承認使用PED。USA Today報
導Braun開始向官方部分致歉，但不知道這其中是否包含Laurenzi。 Braun
已經打電話給釀酒人總教練Ron Roenicke表示歉意，那些提供道歉細節的
隊友們應該也已在週末時接到來電。
Earlier in the day Sunday, Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said he wasn't
expecting much in the way of sincerity from Braun's apology.
週日稍早響尾蛇總教練Kirk Gibson說他並不期待Braun是真心道歉。
Speaking with reporters in Pittsburgh, Gibson said, "I got a question for
him, right to his face. Is he about rehearsed by now? About ready to come
out? He's probably been practicing at theater school somewhere."
在匹茲堡與記者談話時， Gibson說，＂我想對著他的臉問很多問題。他已
經排練過了嗎？準備好出面了嗎？他也許在還在演藝學院什麼的練習呢。＂
The Brewers defeated Arizona in five games in the 2011 National League
Division Series, when Braun batted .500 (9 for 18) with four doubles, a
home run, four runs batted in and five runs scored. It later was revealed
that Braun tested positive after Game 1 for elevated levels of testosterone.
2011年國聯分區系列賽中釀酒人在第五場擊敗響尾蛇，Braun於系列賽中繳
出.500（18打數9安打），4支二壘安打，1支全壘打，4分打點並跑回5分。
而第一戰後收集到的樣本卻顯示Braun體內睪酮素暴走。
As for any admission of guilt by Braun at this stage, Gibson said, "I said
this a long time ago. I think that people should have an opportunity to ask
him some questions and have him answer them unrehearsed. Something tells me
he's getting really prepared for just about anything that they could
throw at him.
談到任何Braun關於罪行的坦承，Gibson則說，＂我老早以前就講過了，我
認為人們應該有機會問他問題， 在他沒來得及排練的狀況下要求他回答。
有些事情讓我認為他已經準備得非常充分去面對任何迎面而來的質疑。＂
"I'm not surprised he hasn't addressed people. He probably doesn't give a
(expletive) about me. He's got it really good. I was one of the guys who
went through many things — work stoppages, etc. — so that he could do that.
I would hope that he respects me and everybody who stood up for him before
he played the game."
＂我不驚訝他還沒對外說明。也許他根本不鳥我， 他對這個可是很拿手。
我跟許多人一樣經歷過許多事，像是罷工之類的。 他當然也可以這樣幹。
我只希望他開始遊戲前能尊重我跟任何支持他的人。＂
