I love andy pettitte as much as the next guy. But we need to get out of the mindset that taking HGH in 02 and 04 isn't cheating. The whole "it wasn't banned by baseball" defense is simply moot - taking a drug that requires a prescription was banned in the 70s. As fans of the game we need to make sure we remain objective - even if our heroes are under fire. guys. I love andy pettitte as much as the next guy.

You wrote "Getting back in two weeks is getting an edge as opposed to three weeks." If a player goes on the DL, he has to stay on it for at least 15 days, which would make it 3 weeks. So, how could he have gotten back in 2 weeks like you said?? Peter,

If you do something that at that time you found to be cheating but after the fact it was determined that it was in fact not cheating, is it still cheating??? I'd say no. Not everyone feels this way though. Yaz - And there in lies the rub.
