HGH for Anti Aging

Question about Rick Ankiel and HGH?

Ok so Rick Ankiel took HGH in 2004 when it was legal. So he can't get in trouble for it now right? Is it possible that that stuff could still be in his body since then three years later? Or is he a natural now? OH so he took it during rehab? So he basically took it to help rebound quicker? Now that I didn't know and it didn't make it as bad as everybody makes it sound. I figured that it would out of his system three years later. As for some of you others, I don't hate Bonds and I don't really care about his position right now with the steriods. It gives me a headache. No I'm not in denial. I see (and I'm disappointed) that he used HGH and it was legal to use in MLB then so that doesn't make him as bad. Especially if he used it during rehab to rebound quicker. Yes it still wasn't good but hey, it wasn't illegal to use! And if he isn't using it now (and he used it when it was allowed to be used) then he shouldn't get in trouble. Ok so here is my conclusion. He cheated yes, and I'll never be a true fan of his but does all that matter since now he isn't using HGH and it's all out of his system? Does the past really matter right now when he isn't using it anymore and it's out of his system?

1. it was banned in MLB in 2005. but its illegal to get without a doctors prescription. so Ankiel had to pull some strings to get the stuff
2. If he hadn't taken HGH since 2004 they won't get it in a test. But thats not the point; we HATE barry bonds for what he did in 2001 right? Sooner or later its gonna come out that every team will have a player that juiced (and many of them back before it was against the rules), then we'll all have to see how we react to that? We gonna stay on our high horses, or try to rationalize?
3. i do not believe he should be reprimanded especially if the use was to rehab from the surgery that was required during that time, no i don't think the drug would stay in the body that long, other drugs wont stay in the body longer that 30 days, in the hair it would, but in the blood stream no, the body would filter it out before that, i think that the powers that be found the script for the drug from a registered MD and Rick is now under the microscope.....
4. It is in his system now. For lack of a better word it is unidentifiable. What do mean is he natural? I'll make it easy for u. U can still root for him and u can still boo Bonds. Like the rest of American Baseball fans u can continue to be hypocrites. Just by the tone of your question you want to still root for him even though his feel-good story is tainted.
5. Hgh was never legal . Stop being a fan in denial. You just upset because your hero's feel good storybook story is about to end & is being proven to be another phony.
