correct me if im wrong, didnt pettitte only take them when he was injured to recover quicker?
some of these guys were surprises...jerry (jay-dub) hairston, brian roberts - theyre not very big
He used them for a 2 day period to try and heal quicker. I don't hold that in the same light as a Barry Bonds or Jose Canseco who abused steroids over a long period and put up monster numbers. In fact, HGH is not the same as steroids.
it's still illegal, but yeah not as bad as those other guys
Well, when he used it, it wasn't illegal.
yes it was. and never a good idea when you're buying stuff from "some guy" that's not even a doctor prescribing it to you. it's the same as buying drugs. and the whole "apology", "IF i did anything wrong" blah blah, i dunno, rings kinda hollow
Let me rephrase that, it wasn't illegal in MLB. That had no rules for it in 2002 when Pettite did them. Also, you can't say his stats are tainted just because he used them 2 times in a short period. Whereas the likes of Bonds, Canseco, and McGwire can be questioned.
