Different Story for Pettitte

All of the news about the MLB in the past few days has been related to the Mitchell Report. The news is overusing Andy Pettitte's name just to get everyone's attention. I just want to stress that Pettitte is in a completely different ballpark than the other players mentioned. He DID NOT use HGH to cheat on baseball. He didn't use it to pitch faster. He used it to help speed the recovery of his elbow injury. He was not playing whiled "juiced up." He did it for what he thought was medical purposes at the time. Another key fact is HGH WAS NOT banned until 2005. Pettitte's usage was in 2002. So Pettitte DID NOT break any rules.
