Sasson says the people that Braun defamed him to included Attanasio, Rodgers, Braun's fiance Larisa Fraser, restauranteur Omar Shaikh, Braun's parents, Joe and Diane, and his brother Steve.
In another filing connected to the lawsuit, Sasson submits 48 "requests for admission" from Braun, including that he:
*Engaged in academic misconduct at Miami and accepted money against NCAA rules.
*Used steroids as far back as his playing days at Miami.
*Lied under oath at his appeal hearing.
*Lied to "the entire world" during his speech on Feb. 25 at Maryvale Baseball Park in which he denied using PEDs and pointed a finger at Laurenzi for possible tampering with his sample.
*Lied to Shaikh by not telling him about PED use that could do harm to their restaurant partnershp.
*Lied to Rodgers by not telling him about PED use that could harm their business relationship.
*Secured his $105 million contract extension from the Brewers in 2011 "under false pretenses" by not revealing his PED use.
The approach by Sasson is what one attorney called a "hard ball approach" to filing a civil lawsuit.
On the same day he filed the complaint, Sasson filed several documents asking for answers to questions and also filing a "request for admissions," which lays out a series of statements.
It is in these statements that some of the most explosive allegations are made.
Braun has 20 business days to respond to the complaint and 30 days to respond to the request for admissions. There has been no response as of early Monday.
If the documents are not not refuted by Braun, he would be admitting the information in them as fact. But veteran Milwaukee civil and criminal attorney Raymond Dall'Osto cautioned that nothing in the request is established as fact.
