>>Take a look at Andy Pettite's stats. There is nothing in his record that suggests he became a better pitcher after he took HGH. The evidences suggests exactly what he said; that he took it because he was hurt and wanted to help the team.<< you've never thought about the guy who's career is hurt because he doesn't take hgh to "recover faster." if i'm competing clean, why do i need to compete with everyone else who is dirty? if it takes me a week to recover, why do i have to play with people who can recover in 4 days on hgh? you don't know what pettite's stats would have been like had he not taken it, so it could've seriously improved his performance relative to what it would have otherwise been. if everyone is taking hgh, then almost everyone has to or look for another career. it is not right for that reason alone. i also think that is the standard lie these guys come up with when caught. has anyone every said, "yeah, i took it so i could improve my performance and jack all those guys who don't take it?"
