Four Base Error by MLB on Braun

The way that Major League Baseball dropped the ball on the Ryan Braun situation is a shame. It is not a matter of guilt or innocence any more because he got off on a technicality. Of course Braun has been thumping his chest claiming that truth was on his side. 

How did the MLB allow Braun to slide safely into home after handling this so poorly? They gave the test and had the results which showed Braun had much higher levels of testosterone than normal. Yet some where along the way the chain of evidence was broken and Braun was allowed to walk. While the MLB may like to hand down sentences its ability to follow the Law and Order model is severely lacking. 

This should be a black mark on the Bud Selig term as commissioner.  The game is trying to move past the steroid era and the handling of an accusation against the reigning National League MVP should have been handled with meticulous precision. The world was watching this through a magnifying glass but Sherlock Holmes wasn't on this case. Did Selig have the best possible people on this? The results would indicate the answer is no. Sure people make mistakes but having the right people in place with the correct protocols and procedures help to ensure that mistakes aren't made. At the very least the credibility of the MLB has been damaged.
