It's the Holiday season so for a second let's give some of the accused the benefit of doubt and say that they are truthful that the reason for using HGH was to get healthy. I pose the devils advocate question that maybe some of the blame should be placed on the team ownership for wanting and expecting a return on their investment, and even go as far as passing some blame to the baseball fan for "bad-mouthing" players they feel are "sandbagging" an injury.
Those that "use" to gain an unfair advantage I have no time for, however, I'm beginning to wonder if the "pressure" to perform at a level these athletes are used to may be a big part of their undoing. After all, isn't the applause of the crowd, the feeling of competing with the best that pushed these athletes to where they got to. Does that condone their action...No, but it does show they are human.
