So now the pharmacist is recanting everything he said in this weird video.  He's not denying he said it, but somehow is saying what he said isn't true but it is the investigative reporter's fault somehow?

I wouldn't expect him to do anything else. Lying to inflate his own self importance (his defense) is a far less egregious offense than revealing his participation in a drug scandal or even revealing privileged information (what he is accused of).

Al Jazeera Al Qaeda duh

I am hesitant to jump in this controversy, but Al Jazeera has a well known history of anti-Semitic propaganda. For example, they reported that Jews has been told by Mossad to avoid going to work on September 11. It is, after all, state run media from an Islamic theocracy.

Like someone else said, I really don't know enough about the American arm of this operation.

I may very well be in the minority on this, but for non-olympic sports, I believe it should be a anything goes as long as the drug does not have any adverse side effects.

We dont watch football for any other reason then for entertainment, and IMO because it is an entertainment driven sport. they should be allowed to do anything needed that may improve the product.  if it's allowing players to use products to help them extend careers, and recover faster from injury so they may be able to play a critical game next week, I'd be all for it as long as that player was willing.

a.) the official policy is to turn a blind eye, which is problematic as it gives wealthier players a leg up on the competition. So not just HGH, but a trip to like sweden or germany where they get stem cell therapy and a whole host of other things that practice squaders or guys on the fringe can't afford. It's a massive competitive advantage. 

b.) you can't really have the NFL giving out this poo to the players because then essentially you're saying they're just bags of meat for our entertainment and whatever the problems they develop later in life, whelp, oh well. Additionally you'd run afoul of USADA which is a federal agency that randomly screens all the olympians.

there's really not a good answer but just pumping them full of stem cells and hgh has some bad optics.
