Question by el: Why is there such a backlash on players that took HGH?
HGH is not a steroid, isn’t illegal, and wasn’t banned by baseball until recently. So why is it such a big deal if a player used it to recover from an injury 6-7 yrs ago. If I knew if I could use it and recover from an injury in 5 months instead of 6 I would use it also. It doesn’t give you a “competitive edge” like using steroids can. I just don’t know why the media is putting HGH in the same category as steroids.

FYI – HGH is illegal without a prescription, which is what most of these players don’t have.
Plus, whether it’s prescribed or not, it builds muscle tissue and makes you stronger, giving you an edge over people who are not on it.
HGH is just what players need to hit that ball a few more feet and to get those extra MPH on their fastball. How does it not give them an edge?

baseball bans all supplements that gives you an edge over your opponent. if you get stronger, which is what hgh does, then you have an edge.
HGH gives an unfair advantage to those who take it over those who don’t. It makes them stronger by artificial means and I guess this is unfair if you are a baseball player. Of course, if you believe as I do that most player used HGH sometime in their career, I think the playing field might have been pretty level.
I don’t know. Too much money and time wasted, that’s for damn sure. In the end it’s just entertainment. If they want to risk their life for cash that’s their business not mine nor the government’s.
They cheated the game.
They…cheated…
