Dino Laurenzi Jr. Do you know that name?

Dino Laurenzi Jr. Do you know that name? Do you have any clue who Laurenzi is or why he should be suing different media outlets? 

Let us go back a year, to when MVP Ryan Braun star baseball player for the Milwaukee Brewers was accused of using Steroids by MLB. Braun lawyered up quickly and appealed the suspension handed down by MLB.

What was his defense? The specimen collector did not send the specimen out right away, rather waiting a night. This according to Braun’s lawyer was cause for reasonable doubt that the specimen was not tampered with. The courts ruled inBraun’s favor. After the whole incident Braun came out and made a statement. In this statement he acted self righteous, a man wronged, and he said something that would ruin the collectors life.

“There were a lot of things that we learned about the collector, about the collection process, about the way that the entire thing worked, that made us very concerned and very suspicious about what could have actually happened.”

You can even watch his press video and see how self righteous he sounds.

Flash forward back to the present. Ryan Braun signed a huge $128 million contract before the season and now has been found guilty of using Steroids and settled with MLB on being suspended for the rest of the season. He was linked in the Bio-Genesis scandal that rocked MLB, the same scandal that Alex Rodriguez is dealing with right now.

Why is the name Dino Laurenzi Jr. so important? He was the collector of the first sample. He lost his job and all credibility in his field due to Braun’s first case and remarks there after. I can only assume he probably got a lot of hate mail as well from fans. His life is ruined. Despite the fact, that everyone knows Braun lied and ruined this guy’s life, he’s not suing. Good guy.

Why am I spending so much time talking about this guy? Well, only one other media outletreally has taken the time to write an article on him. The media instead is choosing to go after Braun and talk about how he lied to us all. After he “proved his innocence” the first time, the media gave him all the coverage in the world to lambast the collector and speak his piece. Now after he’s lied, the media is only talking about him lying. Why aren’t they going after him for ruining some guy’s life? Laurenzi has refused interviews since, but the media could do a better job. The media is so fickle with how it chooses to portray the story. I assure you, when Braun shows back up for training camp next season; it will all be behind him. There will be no mention of the fact that Braun ruined another mans life and profited off it.
