Report: Ankiel received HGH shipments
Baseball Betting Lines
09/07/2007 -
New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Rick Ankiel
reportedly received shipments of human growth hormone from a Florida pharmacy
in 2004.
According to the New York Daily News, Ankiel received eight shipments of HGH
from Signature Pharmacy in Orlando from January to December 2004. The Orlando
pharmacy is the center of the investigation of illegal internet prescription
drug sales by the Albany, New York district attorney's office.
The Daily News obtained records from Signature Pharmacy that show Ankiel
stopped receiving the shipments just before HGH was banned by Major League
Baseball in 2005.
There is no test for HGH in Major League Baseball, although a player known to
have used it can face a suspension of 50 games under the sport's drug policy.
Ankiel has had a remarkable comeback as a hitter after his promising career as
a pitcher ended abruptly with a bout of wildness. He also suffered through
injuries to his elbow and knee between 2001 and 2006 as his pitching career
faded and his transformation as a hitter began.
Since being recalled from the minors in August, Ankiel has nine homers and 29
runs batted in with a .358 batting average in just 23 games. He has helped the
Cardinals vault back into the National League Central race, as the defending
World Series champs trail division leaders Chicago and Milwaukee by just one
game.
Other athletes to have been caught in the Signature Pharmacy investigation
include Rodney Harrison of the NFL's New England Patriots and former NFL
quarterback-turned-coach Wade Wilson.
