Mitchell Report.. F.P. Santangelo ??
- Thread starter Gary
- Start date
Wow... Already starting in with the excuses..
Listening live on the internet on khtk.com
He is talking about various injuries and how he used the HGH to help get back into the game... Than another injury, and again using.
Also how he is against performance enhancing drugs, and how embarrased he is...
But the theme of the interview is about his injuries and how he was afraid of never playing again because of his injuries and how the performance enhancing drugs helped him repair his body.

He says the account in the book on him is inaccurate.
He hopes that by coming clean others may not have to go through this.
Says the testosterone comment is completely untrue.
Not sure if he'd make the same decisions again. He's ashamed of what he did and has a certain sense of relief "owning this". He said the hardest point was telling his 10-12 year old kids about this a month ago.

It changed his personality and he's lost friends because of this. He said 4 weeks of compromise in his career was it. Telling kids this is bad stuff, not to do it. Lied about it on the show because there are legal ramifications in addition to the other issues. He says the 82 names in the book is "just the tip of the iceberg".
He did not discuss it with the author for various reasons - legal and the fact that "nothing positive would come of it".

Injuries and HGH
I was talking with some people in the medical field about HGH and recovering from injury, and they said it does not work that way, it builds new muscle it does not repair torn or damaged msucles or ligaments, if anything it masks the problems and causes more down the road. So for the most part I think this arguement is BS, and a coverup for wanting to add muscle.

I don't mean to be judgemental, because we all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory, but this guy was hired as a talk show host based on his take on the whole steroids issue. And for the whole amount of time he has been on the radio, he has given the overwhelming impression to the public that he did not take performance enhancing drugs.
Am I missing something? If I am his partners, he is no longer a Rise Guy

From what I understand, and I may be wrong, if a muscle or ligament is healing properly to begin with, HGH can help it to heal faster and stronger than it would on it's own. That's what your body uses natural HGH for when you work out. You break your muscles down with exercise, and, particularly in men, the proteins together with the hormones rebuild the muscle and prepare it for a bigger load next time.
Not that this isn't just an excuse for using HGH to build more muscle, but I do believe that it can help you to heal faster if used properly. I would use it if it were legal. And the big advantage to it is that it doesn't have to be used in such strict cycles the way that anabolic steroids do.
Again, I am not a biologist or a chemist, and I may be way off base here.

Not only that he didn't do it but that he despised anyone that did it. What a hypocrite. So long buddy.
You know its funny people have been ragging on Bonds for long time, but Roger Clemens seems to barely get any mention, talk about double standards.
If Clemens had evidence made public linking him to steroids (that wasn't redacted), then things would have been different.
If Clemens was chasing the home run record then things would have been different.
If the first real accusations backed up by evidence were made against Clemens at a time when there weren't a lot of other players being accused, then things would have been different.
I don't know whether Clemens would have been given the exact same treatment, but he might have. The double-standard you speak of might exist, but you really can't tell here because the situations are so different.
Is anybody really surprised by Clemens? I mean he always had the perfect nasty/mean buffed up personality, he had unnatural staying power long past the age when he should have slowed down. Didn't have to be, but I'm surprised that even raises an eyebrow. Been pointed out that pitchers have less to gain through steroird use than home run hitters, but it can certianly help them recover from injuries faster and gain unnatural longetivity.
Someone asked that earlier. I'm not surprised at all. I have always been a Clemens fan, too, as long as I've been a baseball fan. But I'm not surprised that he was doing steroids.
Then again, after looking through that list and seeing "stand-up guys" like Pudge and LoDuca and Brendan Donnelly on that list, I don't think any name I ever hear will surprise me. I'm glad none of the core Angels are named in the report (even though Glaus was the World Series MVP; but I think he was linked to steroids only after he left the Angels... not sure, though). But I'll never again be surprised to see anyone linked to illegal performance enhancing substances.

I don't think he's automatcially a hypocrite for preaching against it now. Plenty of people speak out against something they once did themselves. (Alcohol, drugs, stealing, cheating, etc.) The "turn on, tune in, drop out" generation became the "just say no to drugs parents."
There aren't too many parents out there who haven't told their children it's wrong to do [whatever], when they did it themselves when younger. Are they hypocrites, too?
What really bothers me is that he didn't just come clean a long time ago. He only speaks after he's publicly outed. I know he said "legal ramifications," but to me that is just cowardly.
