yeah – the story is that he has a 12 month supply of HGH. he claims it was prescribed, I claim that 12 months is a hell of a long prescription. like you said, he also said he was “not sorry” for using it. so technically i am correct. However, there is a big difference in using it for medical reasons and for other reasons, so I changed what I wrote since there is no proof. Thanks for the comment.

Ankiel never admitted to using HGH while in the minors, and he was very apologetic. He stated that he used while out of baseball. He was technically part of the farm system, but he didn’t use it to enhance his performance, he was perscribed by a legitimate doctor, and it was to recover from surgery. Is this true? Who knows, but if someone was to read this, and didn’t know the story, they would think that Ankiel said something like, “yeah, I used HGH to hit homeruns, so what?” When that wasn’t even close to teh case. Ankiel said something along the lines of “yeah, I used HGH to recover from an injury. A doctor perscribed it to me, and I my performance wasn’t enhanced because I wasn’t anywhere near a field while I was using it. I’m not sorry for this, because I used it exactly as it was perscribed to me.” You may want to edit that, because someone could be terribly misleaded.
