I didn't buy into the Braun explanation, especially when they used the chain of custody defense. But I find the Dee Gordon situation troubling. And there doesn't seem to be room in the CBA to defend the player in case of unintended consequences, especially in incredibly trace amounts that do not benefit the player.
When in doubt: http://www.nsfsport.com/. But even if something is on the list yet the player tests positive for a PED in that something, the player is on the hook.
CBA is coming up post 2016 season, and I hope a sense of reason is built into the agreement.
There are non prescription creams for rashes that contain clostebol (there have been Tour riders that have tested positive for PED use and claim rash treatment using Trofodermin (in their country)).
