How many days left until we know about Braun?

I think they said we would know something by the start of camp,or within 30 days from the appeal.
I have 1 more slow draft to do and I am waiting on the news (impatiently)
I am under the assumption that mlb only tests the ratio between( testosterone and epitestosterone ). The "T/E" ratio pops up a flag if the ratio is greater than 4 to 1.Then they would do a second test with the same sample to see why it was high. So I guess the way around it is to boost the epi along with the testy.
your testosterone can by be sky high as long as the epi. is. Heck you can be 20/5 and not trigger a second test.
On a personal note as a baseball fan I hope he is found innocent.
On a fantasy baseball note if he is found innocent I think we already have a winner with the slow drafts overall.
Did I also read that mlb cant test for hgh during the season unless the have probable cause?
That whole probable cause will be a law suit waiting to happen.

I think today is day 17 of the maximum 25 days allowed following the appeal. Here is an interesting article / blog detailing the timing, etc. - http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/138662774.html.
