So Andy Pettitte admitted today that he did use HGH in 2002. He issued an apology shortly after in a statement through his agent.

In 2002 I was injured. I had heard that human growth hormone could promote faster healing for my elbow. I felt an obligation to get back to my team as soon as possible. For this reason, and only this reason, for two days I tried human growth hormone. Though it was not against baseball rules, I was not comfortable with what I was doing, so I stopped.

This is it -- two days out of my life; two days out of my entire career, when I was injured and on the disabled list. I wasn't looking for an edge. I was looking to heal.

If what I did was an error in judgment on my part, I apologize. I accept responsibility for those two days.

He definitely helped himself with this but I think he probably hurt Roger Clemens. The longer Roger Clemens goes without speaking, the worse it makes him seem. In my eyes, this adds credibility to what was said by the Brian McNamee.
