Talk about it: hGH
From the Baltimore Sun
Share your thoughts about Orioles outfielder Jay Gibbons' admission that he used human growth hormone. Gibbons has been suspended by Major League Baseball for 15 days, starting with the beginning of the 2008 season.
The Orioles will benefit from the Gibbons' suspension. They will benefit more if they release him. Gibbons obviously used steroids. The same guy that used to be touted with warehouse power can no longer hit the warning track. A slow, singles hitter with no glove does not belong in the Majors.

Even with the big arms, he still hits like Judy Gibbons-trade him for a singles hitter who is built like one

Jay is a decent major leaguer on performance enhancement drugs, what will he be without them. I think we saw a glimpse of this last year. He needs to play well or be released.

I'm sick of this whole story. It seems that when the Mitchell Report comes out, we're going to need to reassess our furor over steroid and performance-enhancing drug abusers. Get ready, because some player you love is bound to be in the report.

If Gibbons took performance-enhancing drugs, he should ask for his money to be refunded.

He should be released immediately. Nice guy, but too bad!

You mean to say those big Popeye forearms were NOT the result of physical training? Who could have guessed??? The Orioles won't release him because he'll talk to the media about everyone else on the team who was juiced with him.

Roberts is next - trade him quick before the Mitchell report comes out!

If Gibbons was indeed taking performance enhancing substances, does this not jeopardize the validity of the contract that he signed, which was based on his performance numbers collected while he was cheating?

Get rid of this guy! He's a lousy ballplayer on or off of the juice. 15 game suspension? What a deal! No wonder young people think it's worth trying.
