The U.S. Attorney's office here said Wednesday that a St. Louis company admitted distributing human growth hormone to athletes and entertainers, and agreed to pay a $10.5 million fine and to cooperate with investigators.

 

The company, Specialty Distribution Systems Inc. (a subsidiary of Express Scripts), said in a news release that it "does not condone the use of human growth hormone for anti-aging, cosmetic or performance-enhancement purposes."

 

The U.S. Attorney's office disagrees, saying that Specialty supplied HGH for a "well-known" athlete in Massachusetts and an "entertainer/athlete" who received a shipment was 6-foot-5, 276 pounds, according to the New York Daily News.

Hopefully the list includes Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, and Corey Hart, and it comes out soon.

[Careless]

not for cosmetic purposes? that's a simple lie.

I don't care about who did what, what's more important is who will do what and getting the testing in place to prevent it.

[Soul]

Don't worry, everyone's doing it so that makes it O.K.

Sorry, I couldn't read your post as my head was turned the other way.

 

Why wouldn't athletes have these things shipped to a friend that they could trust instead of getting them sent directly to their homes with their name on it? I mean that's Pete Rose dumb.

No it isn't and I'm sure many many players did do it in the ways you said plus more.

The U.S. Attorney's office here said Wednesday that a St. Louis company admitted distributing human growth hormone to athletes and entertainers, and agreed to pay a $10.5 million fine and to cooperate with investigators.

 

The company, Specialty Distribution Systems Inc. (a subsidiary of Express Scripts), said in a news release that it "does not condone the use of human growth hormone for anti-aging, cosmetic or performance-enhancement purposes."

 

The U.S. Attorney's office disagrees, saying that Specialty supplied HGH for a "well-known" athlete in Massachusetts and an "entertainer/athlete" who received a shipment was 6-foot-5, 276 pounds, according to the New York Daily News.

I'm thinking a wrestler. Size seems right, WWE is headquartered in MA I believe and it does say "entertainer/athlete".

[SouthSideRyan]

It doesn't specify where the entertainer/athlete is from but WWE's headquarters are in CT :oops:

I find him to be more entertaining than say, Brad Paisley, for example.

If you ever heard the reason my students got caught doing the wrong thing I am under the impression there is a whole lot of stupid people out there that would have it mailed to them.

Steroid use by a Major League Baseball slugger may produce only modest increases in muscle mass and bat and ball speed but still boost home run production by 50 percent or more, according to a new study by Tufts University physicist Roger Tobin.

 

"Tobin applied a similar, though less extensive, mechanical analysis to pitching and found that smaller impacts were possible. He calculated that a 10 percent increase in muscle mass should increase the speed of a thrown ball by about 5 percent, or four to five miles per hours for a pitcher with a 90 mile per hour fastball. That translates to a reduction in earned run average of about 0.5 runs per game.

 

'That is enough to have a meaningful effect on the success of a pitcher, but it is not nearly as dramatic as the effects on home run production," says Tobin. "The unusual sensitivity of home run production to bat speed results in much more dramatic effects, and focuses attention disproportionately on the hitters.'

Agreed. I wrote a column saying exactly this for our paper last week. You can't do anything about what happened in the past. Work on getting effective testing put in place instead.
