baseballbum - I hear what you are saying but consider how foolish these players are making themselves sound. "I had a career threatning medical issue so I took the advice of the locker room go-for over the team doctor." Makes lots of sense
BTW - I saw an interview with a doctor on HBO. He said that growth hormone although it may potentially help regenerate damaged tissue, it may likely exacerbate the growth of unhealthy things like cancer or tumors. There is a valid reason it is not being prescribed by the medical community to treat injuries i.e., it may cause death. Until determined otherwise, athletes should refrain from prescribing their own medical treatments.
