Andy Pettitte used human growth hormone to recover from an elbow injury in 2002, the New York Yankees pitcher said two days after he was cited in the Mitchell Report.

Pettitte said he tried HGH on two occasions.

"If what I did was an error in judgment on my part, I apologize," Pettitte said Saturday in a statement released by his agent. "I accept responsibility for those two days."

Pettitte spins before Roger. They will whine that they only took it to get over injuries. They'll whine that they only took it a few times. They got caught. They are cheaters, and they have to spin, because after their playing days are over, the only asset they have is their names. Clemens and Pettitte's names are permanently stained. They can swear on bibles that they sat on the needles by mistake, but they are still sullied. Too bad for the Whore and the Hypocrite. What about the other 10 Yankee champions. They didn't inhale either. Cheaters! Their championship banners should have syringes embroidered on them.

I see a new slogan for the '96, '98-2000 Champs: "Champion Cheaters of the Steroid Era." The fans can be proud. Give the team a monument for Monument Park.

you're being silly. the report says itself that Roger and maybe Justice was the only one who was doing it before 2000.

If you go back and take a look at ROger's postseason stats, and can make a case on how his PED's helped us in the playoffs, then we can talk about tainted championships.

You are kidding yourself if you think these guys were not doing this stuff before 2000. It's like the DWI that cries to the judge that he had never driven drunk before. It's BS. The clubhouse must have been swimming in the stuff during those years.

I see, so you're willing to accept the Mitchell report at face value when it says these Yankees were juicing but not willing to accept the timeline that the report lays out? no, not too biased there.

According to Newsday, two people familiar with Roger Clemens' thinking fully anticipate that he will pitch again in 2008.

"I really don't think this would deter him from playing," one person said, on the condition of anonymity. "He might think it would change the public opinion on him further. People would think, 'Why would he come back and put up with all of this abuse if he did it?'" Newsday believes Clemens would prefer to finish his career with the Red Sox, though he had that opportunity last season and didn't take it. If he does pitch again, we're guessing it'd be with the Astros.

Looks like we arent yet rid of Roger Clemens rumors. LOL about Newsday spinning that Clemens would like to end his career with Boston... besides already having a surplus of more durable and cheaper starting pitchers, the Sox dont need him. For the Yankees sake, they shouldnt even bid for him again

It appears that Pettitte used them in a similar way that Rodney Harrison did in the NFL...but the important thing is this makes it seem like McNamee was telling the truth. Tough sailing for Clemens ahead.

I accept the time lines of the evidence, but that doesn't mean that the drug use by the individuals was limited to those time periods, just as the evidence doesn't present an all-inclusive list of players that used during the era. Use was rampant during those years, and the Yanks were the Champs.

Just dont even take a thing that 700 says seriously. All of us who have been here for a while know how he is..let him talk and run his mouth, it doesnt mean a thing.

In regards to Pettitte thought, I feel almost compelled to believe him. You guys can all say what you want, but I think he is sincerely telling the truth.

If you want to get technical though, Andy never cheated. HGH was not against the rules in 2002, when he tried it twice while on the DL. So not only was he not active, he wasn't breaking any rules. Go fall off the Throgs Neck.
