I was thinking last night that the Rick Ankiel story has to be one of the most unbelievable comebacks in sports. The guy went from a pitcher who couldn't deal with the pressure to a slugger who is just hitting the ball like crazy. Unfortunately, it seems like HGH may have played a part in his quick transformation. Since it wasn't outlawed by baseball when he got it and there is probably no proof he used it, I don't think anything will happen. I'd like to get more information about how long the impact of taking things like HGH and steroids last. Do they wear off after a year or is it just a matter of building up your body more quickly during that time and then keeping that? It does seem like some guys are smaller, like Sammy Sosa and Pudge Rodriguez, but who knows?
Apparently Ankiel says it was all prescribed stuff from a doctor. Time will tell.
