In conclusion...
Nothing happened.
There will be no testing for HGH.
Was Helton guilty? Who knows? He didn't hang out with the NY clubhouse guy or the Balco guys. Does that mean he wasn't juicing when he hit his 49 homers? No.
Krieger had a good column yesterday in the RMN, condemning Bud Selig.
Senator Mitchell didn't have subpoena power. He got his info from the two NY clubhouse sources. 22 Yankees were named. What if he had talked to the Rockies clubhouse boy? Would more people be named than just Herges and that guy who was afraid of spiders, the first base coach? Laughed when I heard Irv Brown say that Hill needed to strengthen his arm when waving a runner to 2B. That's why he took the steroids.
What can you do but laugh at all this. And then cry.
What will change? Nothing. What's to stop a player from taking HGH or the next designer drug that there's no urine test for? And why do we think the NFL is so clean? Do they test for HGH? Blood test? I don't think so.
