It is interesting that ESPN will sit on info like the Fine case but report the Braun positive test.
The damage to his reputation is already done even if he is exonerated thus lawsuits will be filed or settlements will be reached most likely

ESPN isnt involved in the labor contract.
The Fine case involves an active criminal investigation.
I don't believe that reporting something true can be used as the basis of a lawsuit regardless of the damage done to someones reputation. However I am not a lawyer, dont have omnipotent powers to be right all the time like Riot and did not stay in a Holiday Inn express last night so maybe Pointman or a real lawyer can weigh in.
