JASON GRIMSLEY: LATINO BASEBALL PLAYERS WERE MAJOR SOURCES OF STEROIDS AND
HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE
It looks like there might be a logical correlation between the advent
of Latino baseball stars and the proliferation of steroids, human
growth hormone and other performance enhancing drugs in Major League
Baseball
Grimsley received a package containing two kits of human growth
hormone April 19 at his Scottsdale home.
Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Jason Grimsley told federal
investigators he used illegal performance-enhancing drugs,
according to court documents unsealed late Tuesday.
It looks like Grimsley has named names.
According to Novitsky, Grimsley told him the names of other players
he believed were using, but the names of those players were blacked
out of the court records.
"I have no comment about that and no idea about that," Grimsley
told The Arizona Republic on Tuesday, hours before the Diamondbacks
played the Philadelphia Phillies.
Don't be surprised that baseball players are now using human growth
hormone because drug testing is only being done for steroids.
The Republic reported that Latino players were cited by Grimsley in
the court documents as a major source of amphetamines, as were
major leaguers on California teams who could easily travel to
Mexico to buy the drugs.
The newspaper reported that the affidavit, which was filed in U.S.
District Court in Phoenix, said that Grimsley took delivery of two
kits containing human growth hormone at his home on April 19.
Let's see if the baseball media follows up on this.
