I applaud Pettite for stepping forward and admitting to what he did...whether the whole truth we'll never know, but I'd like to believe it is cause it doesn't seem to contradict anything in the Mitchell report. I wish more athletes would do the same...it doesn't bother me so much that so many used (at a time when it wasn't banned) but that they (athletes in all sports, not just baseball) keep denying it when the evidence is staring down right at them (*cough* Floyd Landis *cough*) I think this also casts an even worse light on Clemens now, cause he's still adamantly denying the allegations. McNamee might not be a "troubled man who carelessly threw out names for fear of prosecution" after all.
I give him credit for at least admitting it, but I don't think he is being entirely truthful. This sounds a lot like "I smoked weed but I didn't inhale".
Yeah, but with all of these guys, I personally find it so difficult to chastise and vilify those who used (experimented) before it was ever deemed illegal (by MLB or the federal government). How can anyone truly be angry at guys who were pressured into using something that most everyone was using and was completely legal at the time? I say in cases of HGH before MLB's initial p***y discipline, let everyone off of the moral and ethical hook.
The border line players have the choice of 1. Do it the 'right' way . . .and stay in AAA or AA ball your hole career then go get a real job or 2. Make it to the bigs for 2~5 years . . .you might get caught . . .but you and your family would be set for life. . . . oh you might die 5~10 yrs earlier They all wrong as wrong can be . . . I look at it like illegal immigration . . it is wrong . . and I am against it that does not mean I don't understand why they do it Rocket River
