In 2011, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun won the National League MVP. Braun beat out Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp. It was a close vote, as Braun received 388 points and 20 first place votes, while Kemp received 332 points and 10 first place votes.
The first star to fall in baseball's latest drug investigation is one of its biggest: Ryan Braun.
The 2011 National League MVP was suspended without pay for the rest of the season and the postseason Monday, the start of sanctions involving players reportedly tied to a Florida clinic accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs.
Major League Baseball's lawyers issued subpoenas to Federal Express, AT&T Mobility and T-Mobile USA in an attempt to gain records for its investigation of players suspected of using performance-enhancing drugs.
A person familiar with the case tells The Associated Press that the founder of a Miami anti-aging clinic has agreed to talk to Major League Baseball about players linked to performance-enhancing drugs.
