Braun came under scrutiny for a testosterone test that he failed in 2011 and then for his connection in 2012 to the Biogenesis of America clinic that provided performance-enhancing drugs to professional baseball players. On July 22, 2013, Braun was suspended without pay for the remainder of the 2013 season and playoffs (totaling 65 regular-season games) for violating the league's drug policy. In the six full seasons prior to his suspension in 2013, Braun was a five-time All-Star and five times posted a batting average above .300 with more than 30 home runs. In the six seasons subsequent to his suspension, Braun has been named an All-Star once, and has had only one season with 30 home runs and a batting average over .300. In 2015 (his second year back), he was an NL All-Star and finished the season as one of the top 10 in the league in both slugging percentage and stolen bases. He then rebounded further in 2016, batting .305, with his sixth 30-home-run season.
