Now it's HGH

It started this week with the announcement that Jason Grimsley was caught red-handed receiving a package containing HGH. What few if any have noted is that this is not Grimsley's first run in with, shall we say, questionable practices. Read this at CNN/SI.

According to various sources, the side effects to HGH include increased strength and muscular development, larger skull (hmm, now can we think of a ball player with a great big pumpkin head?).

Also widely reported is that there is no reliable test for HGH. The fact is that both the Athens and Turin Olympic Games had HGH testing. It is the MLB player's union that refused to allow any blood testing as part of the drug testing program. I'm glad that this sham (other's have used the more charitable word "loophole") has finally been exposed for what it is.

Now we just wait to hear who else is involved in this. Names currently floating include Sosa (no duh), Giambi (ditto), and some more troubling prospects (Pujols, Clemens).
