I'm halfway through the report and that's where Roger and Andy's story starts. What Andy has alluded to is spot on in the report. Please read how chummy Clemens and Conseco were in Toronto in 1998.I really like Clemens but this report on his involvement is too close for comfort.start reading the report at page 215 it's too detailed to not hae SOME truth. I never could understand the giants fans that inspite of all the facts about Bonds they chose to be blind and didn't want to accept the truth.Yankees fans are smarter.WE love Roger but did he Juice? If He walks like a duck and quacks like one too....Say it ain't so Roger and soon and not through a lawyer!!! I personally believe Andy.

HGH's main function in the body is to increase muscle mass and lower body fat. While there are other desireable effects, such as helping retain calcuim and helping with immunity (which helps speed the healing process slightly), as you can see, its main use if for increasing muscle mass. The fundemental functions of the two drugs are really quite different and cortisone does not have any effect on muscle mass, which is why it is legal. Cortisone helps heal and HGH increases muscle mass while simultaneously assisting with the healing process, although to a lesser degree than cortisone. Stuart,
