The New York Daily News is reported that Rick Ankiel had a twelve month supply Human Growth Hormone delivered from a doctor in Florida something in 2004. Ankiel supposedly quit taking the injections before Major League Baseball banning the substance in 2005.
Well, this helps explains his breakout this year. This is too bad. Ankiel is one of the best stories of the year; he was a struggling pitcher back in 2000, and he reinvented himself in the minors, turning himself into a slugging outfielder. He has played eighty games in the majors this year, and has nine home runs, twenty-nine runs batting in, and his slugging percentage is over .700.
