12/14: Justice Denies HGH Use
Posted by: Patrick
Listen here. Honestly, I believe him. Why not? Why should Justice's word be worth any less than McNamee or Radomski? Plenty say "you should know what goes into your body" and I agree with it to some extent, especially when we're talking about being injected with something. But, when it comes to creams, pills, etc..., it's not as clear.
But, team trainers are hired experts. I don't think it's crazy to listen to and go along with their opinion. It's their job to help the players improve and maintain their physical condition. Many (most?) players aren't expects on that, so it's not unrealistic to think that they'd listen to an "expert's" opinion. Obviously, everyone is going to be a lot more careful now, but over 7 years ago, it was a little different, as far as HGH is concerned.
