Steroids, HGH, And The Excuses

Andy Pettite and Fernando Vina say they didn't
take HGH to gain a competitive edge, but rather
to heal faster. Well if you heal faster is that not
gaining a competitive edge? Fifteen years ago
Barry Bonds looked like Jose Reyes and Roger
Clemens like John Maine, and we needed the
Mitchell report to tell us that they were in some
way involved with performance enhancing drugs
of some sort? It certainly didn't seem strange at
at when Roger threw a sharp and jagged edge at
an opponent and claimed that he thought it was
the baseball. Can anyone say 'roid rage?
Lastly keep in mind that the only confessions thus
far, i.e F.P. Santangelo. Andy Pettite, and Fernando
Vina are all from players that are in no way risking
Hall Of Fame inductions, i.e. Mark McGwire, Barry
Bonds, Roger Clemens. I wonder if that's just a
coincidence or the $money$ talking, I wonder.
