I bet you wasn't sick of it when Bonds was bashed for months & you probably had fun with that. Why is it so wrong now? Because it now involves someone you like & the feel good feeling is now been exposed as a sham? True or not life goes on we got bigger things in life to worry about anyway than to worry about an overpaid player who makes more than you & me combined. They will always be dissapointments in life so get used to it.

Instead of directing your anger at the people who found out that Ankiel purchased HGH, maybe it would be better to direct your anger at Ankiel himself. I don't really care why he took HGH, the bottom line is it was an incredibly stupid move on his part. Yes, his story was a "feel good" story, but would his comeback even have been possible without him taking drugs?
To be angry at MLB or the media for a problem that someone only brought on themselves is ridiculous. People should be accountable for their own actions, not try to blame the people that catch them. If tomorrow, I choose to run a stop sign and get pulled over, the cop is certainly not to blame for me running the sign. If I decide to steal something from a department store, the employee that gets my license plate and calls the police is not to blame for me being arrested, I am.
Ankiel decided he needed an advantage. I truly did admire him for toughing it out, working hard, and loving the game enough to basically start all over again to try to get back to the majors. But now, he's just another example of someone who looked for an easier way to do it. He's no better then Bonds. Palmiero, Sosa, McGwire or anyone else who has taken drugs to gain an advantage.
One last thing - you are just now beginning to hate Bud Selig? Most fans started hating him years ago.

Well first, MLB did not accuse Ainkiel, the NY Times did when it reported his name was listed in an indictment as having a subscription to HGH from a pharmacy being investigated.
What I'm sick of is these spoiled rich athletes who try to improve on or extend their skills by cheating. Do you "feel good" now that this idiot player has been lying to you all along?

The NY Times blows.Who cares if he used HGH?It wasn't against the rules then.The press sucks,especially anything from the over zealous NY market.Is he using now?Thats the only question he should have to answer.Hes made a great comeback,storybook style,and now ******* come out of hiding with any information they can find to try and ruin it for Ankiel and us fans.I don't care if he took it.Do you?If I was him,I would have taken it,anything to achieve my goals and dreams,especially when there is potential Millions on the line.Not cheating with something illegal.Remember,it wasn't illegal when he purchased the HGH.I'm sure Rick was just keeping up with the rest of the players trying to get to the big leagues.Hes a great comeback story with or without these allegations.Bonds and him,no comparison.Bonds has cheated,lied, used and stepped on people.He didn't need to with his talent,but he did, cause he's a prick.Ankiel-COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR!

It's not MLB. It's the American press. The Daily News broke the story, and now MLB is obligated to respond. The press crucifies any player who will not open all aspects of their life to reporters; they believe the 2nd Amendment gives them the right to any information about anyone. And when the information they put out is false, or in this case, potentially libelous, they blame "misinformed sources" and usually pay no penalty, though the defamation lingers over the victim.

Nope! I dislike Selig for many reasons but not for the steroid investigations. It's too bad you fancy fantasy rather than reality. Any true baseball fan would be outraged if their favorite player took them, but you sit here and are bent out of shape because he's having a perfect comeback as he stands accused of having taken steroids? Awwwww!

What the heck are you talking about. MLB hasnt accused Ankiel, they have proof that he took HGH. I personally think, Ankiel wouldnt be able to hit without it. I mean he's not like Barry Bonds who was a better player before he took HGH.
Next spell the mans name right.

difficulty is he did no longer call names.. Beltre, Vuntura, etc. I study what Beltre and Edwin Jackson had to declare and it form of sounds like Gange is nuts haha. 80% especially doubt it, Beltre is has no intrest in analyzing the books using fact that's in French. the only thank you to correctly known, is of Gange comes out and names names, user-friendly. otherwise, it is purely what he thinks. Gange had a large occupation yet he did do HGH, there is extra going to come back out from this tale. We purely could look on the roster from then and notice.. especially doubt Beltre or Vuntura, Jackson took HGH PED..

Well, MLB isnt the one who broke the story. It was the New York Daily News and according to the reports he did nothing wrong because HGH was legal during the time he was prescribed it.
So in other words, im not mad at MLB for some newspaper that broke the story.

My question is why did the MLB lie and say their "is no reliable blood test for HGH" when there is one?
The MLB is full of crap, but if they are gonna start naming names, I want bannings from baseball!
