No medication, no supplement, no vitamin is to be taken without the approval of a team's medical staff. Players are routinely warned to be cautious about taking anything that hasn't been approved.--MLB.com

"So, thinking out loud here, if a prescription or combo caused the positive test, all a player has to do is get permission from the team's medical staff, and it is allowed? I recall rumors of a flurry of scrips for Adderall, a stimulant used to treat ADD. That's what Angel Salome tested positive for years ago.

If you have a legitimate need for a drug, and the team okays it, it is apparently all right. I wonder if this will be brought out tomorrow or not...right now, Braun looks guilty, but got off on an error in the process. The way Braun insisted he was not guilty, without knowing how long the fella kept it in his fridge, tells me, and any logical person, there is more to the story." - Al's Ramblings

First, nice analysis by Al, I couldn't do better so I stole his. Second, give him some hits. His humor is nice & dry, his politics are good & sane.
