The Secretary of Human Services has not approved hGH for treatment of elbow injuries. Pettitte's actions were illegal.

Uniform Player's Contract, incorporated explicitly as a part of the Basic Agreement:



Use of illegal hGH breaches Article 3.(a) of any MLB player's contract, including Andy Pettitte's.

Pettitte's actions were wrong. Furthermore, his statement that hGH use was permitted is wrong: its explicit inclusion in 2005 prohibited its scheduled use, but the Basic Agreement already prohibited? its illegal use.
