NY Daily News: Ankiel linked to HGH

Who cares if Ankiel used HGH for a short period of time before baseball had banned it. I personally am rooting for him even if he did use HGH. He isn't using HGH to break records or put to shame the the white fat slugger, he was doing it to resume his career after it went off the tracks. Given how much money there is in MLB it would be hard to turn that away, especially when you have an available supplement that could return you to the playing field. It also doesn't seem that he is still using HGH, maybe he is but still I wouldn't blame him. I feel the same way about Rodney Harrison and given footballs violent nature I feel if you are not using HGH or steroids you are risking your life.

 

Honoring those who refuse to let go:



(Some of these snappers are elusive critters. Others, not so much.)

 

How do you know he's not using HGH now?

And since when is it ok to use illegal drugs in one instance but not in another?

All Barry Bonds was trying to do was keep up with everybody else. Why is he being persecuted? :

 

It has everything to do with me, and the rest of the board, who want to have a serious discussion about something without your egomaniacal persecution complex.

Just take it somewhere else.

 

It's not that he might have used before it got banned. It's that he might have used after the ban. Story only says he stopped receiving HGH shortly before the ban. But when you receive a 12-month supply, it's going to take some time to go through it, which means if he used after the ban ...

 

All it says is he stopped using it from this source. That doesn't mean he's not still getting it from somewhere else.

 

Exactly. There's some more digging to do here.

 

This will never happen, but wouldn't it be interesting if the league ordered sanctions against teams with players who are caught using illegal drugs? Lop a few Ws off the standings? Maybe managers and GMs and owners might pay closer attention to what their players are doing?

 

Witch Hunt on Ankiel?

 

I never brought it up. Moddy did. As I said, I prefer any beef that he has with me should be done in a PM. He has chosen to go public. I'm not going to sit back and not say anything while this guy does that.
Again, it doesn't have anything to do with you. When you comment, it just adds to the confusion and before you know it, the thread is locked.
If locking the thread is your goal, then you appear to be on the right course. I'd like the thread to remain clear because to many, this is a big story.

 

Shut up boots! Seriously no one cares about your beef with moddy or any one else for that matter. Stay on topic or leave this thread.
