Reading the article, it doesn't sound like there is much doubt there, at least in that HGH was shipped to him. Of course, there's no proof that he used, but it doesn't look good to have something like that mailed to you.

If you think about it, he does fit the category of guys likely to use - wanting to recover from injuries, trying to make it to/back to the Majors, nothing really to lose. Very disappointing.

He Had no idea it was HGH.

His trainer told him it was an exfoliating face creme.

If Bonds can do it, why can't he? lol.

Oh well he is having a great comeback let it ride.

I love the Cardinals and have been a huge Ankiel fan since his comeback this year; and hope to God I see no excuse like that...

Honestly, I just hope that this kind of thing can be like the Gary Mathews thing we had earlier this season, and kind of blows off -- but now something like this releases; this image is always going to be stuck in the back of my mind; and it sucks.

We get a good story like this, one that ALL baseball fans enjoyed and rooted for, and assume nothing bad can come from it; but you always have to question -- Are we just being blinded by the fact that this game isn't clean, and still won't be for a very long time?

Does it really even matter anymore?  Just about everyone is probably using something or other, who cares anymore.  Just enjoy the game.

I guess we can't call him "The Natural" anymore?

A baseball player accused of taking HGH, what a huge shock. <Sarcasm

I got news for everyone. They're ALL taking HGH.
