Rick Ankiel

Say it ain't so!  Is it true that Rick Ankiel (the former pitcher who now hits home runs for the St. Louis Cardinals) took some sort of banned substance?  The breaking news that I heard mentioned "human growth hormone" or "HGH".

I know! I also don't want to beleive it... It was on the Detroit Free Press site, so I am guessing they wouldn't just go about printing smut to their hearts' content, but still, innocent until proven guilty...

It may or may not be true, but he is definitely being

questioned due to suspicion that he's been taking performance enhancing drugs.

According to the NY daily news site, Ankiel received a 12 month supply of human growth hormone in 2004 from a pharmacy in Florida. Just remeber, he's innocent till found guilty by a court of law.

Here is the link to the article. Enjoy.
