that article is about andy pettite. he claims to have used it in '02, hgh wasn't banned til '05. claims it was to recover from injury....
i would think tho that anyone who used it after it was banned ought to be in trouble. but before the ban? how do you handle that?

What do you mean handle it? I don't think they are gunna do anything to punish players unless they perjured themselves.By using something that was illegal to use(and others couldn't legally use,) he did try to gain an edge over other players with the same injury.I totally disagree with him when he says he didn't try to gain an edge with it.He tried to heal quicker with an illegal substance.Why do you think he got it from a trainer instead of his doctor? This is not a specific targeted hormone.It wasn't just going to work on his elbow.It was going to have other effects,and the trainer said Andy had asked about using it before he ever hurt his elbow.
