14. By at least ONE account, the protocol WASN'T followed -- and by NO fault of Braun's

But it's not MLB's fault, either.

It's the fault of whoever either didn't know that Fedex was open on Saturdays, or whoever decided that it wasn't important to inform either the commissioner or the lab that Braun's sample would be bunking in with him over the weekend. I also have to wonder why the lab didn't notice that the sample arrived a day late though it was taken a day earlier.

That's why Braun was able to crack open the door of reasonable doubt, and then blow it off its hinges.

If it got thrown out only on the technicality, that's MLB's fault. rocktivity Feb 2012 #12

And isn't that the issue, that the late arrival was OK with the lab? chelsea0011 Feb 2012 #15
