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.
i see what you mean about pettite, that makes sense as far as trying to gain an edge.
as far as handling it, i don't know what they'll do-or could do. my about handling it had to do with those who used pre-ban. if MLB had no rules against it at that time, how can they enforce something on those players that wasn't yet enforceable?
