"Ryan Braun's agency is not messing around in its attempt to help him overturn a positive drug test by MLB that threatens to levy a 50-game suspension on him to start next season.

Reps for the Brewers' all-star left fielder have hired famed professional athletes' attorney David Cornwell, who has defended the likes of Reggie Bush, Randy Moss and Gilbert Arenas in their various legal entanglements.

Cornwell put out one statement, simply saying, "Any report that Ryan ingested a performance-enhancing drug is wrong."

And that element will be part of Braun's defense. His side is adamant that the prohibited substance he took was not a PED or steroid of any kind. MLB's position will be that a banned substance is a banned substance, whether technically a PED or not. And if you've taken a banned substance, even unknowingly, you are subject to suspension."
