If they find anything on this guy, they should come down on him and whatever players he dealt with like a ton of bricks.

At the absolute least, they should change the rules to not allow team doctors to deal in any substances (legal or not) that are banned by the NFL. It's just too much of a conflict of interest.

Until I see some concrete facts on this case, that's about all I can say.

team doctor of 21 year buys $150,000 of HGH on personal credit card?

concrete facts? Obtuse much?

I know you "want to let it all play out" but dude....it doesn't look good.

The same lab was selling illegally to all kinds of sport professionals and coaches, but YOUR team doctor was somehow legit?

In the least he should have disclosed it to the team and the league. Why didn't he? because it wasn't going to his elderly patients.

He's also is medical director of the FBI's Pittsburgh office, the Little Sisters of the Poor nursing home and Community College of Allegheny County.

A check into the charts of his patients at the nursing home should be enough to verify the veracity of his story. Assuming that HIPPA will allow that.

A fact that does absolutely nothing to explain the circumstances of this purchase.

Agreed. Unless he can show a clear connection between the volume of his purchases and the needs of his patients at the nursing home.

Oh, I'm sure a "clear connection" is in the works as we type.

I went to Catholic school, and some of those nuns HAD TO BE on 'roids. My vote is he was selling it to the nuns.

Seriously although 150K sounds like a lot, how much is it really in terms of quantity, dosage etc.. etc.. ?

Got all that, but it sure seems like a lot.
