He can go one of two ways now....
He can go the Bonds/Sheffield route and deny deny deny....
or he can own it, say it was wrong and move on.

He used it before it was a banned substance so who gives a shit?
He doesn't look any bigger than he did then.

Don't be penurious, donate to the BP Spring Dr.
It was purchased while he was still a pitcher so obliviously, it didn't help him too much. Maybe that's where he got the extra strength to throw all those pitches to the backstop.
He's much more likely to be using it now since his career depends on it. Without a test for it, he's got no worries. Much like Gary Matthews Jr., this will go away in no time.

which is why I think if he just says yes, that's me and sorry, people will forgive him probably.
I don't think it's a big deal FWIW

The issue with Ankiel though, for the timeline in question, is that he wasn't even playing baseball then. He was recovering from Tommy John surgery. His surgery was in July 2003, and he didn't play organized baseball again until September 2004. I don't understand all the facts of these investigations/sting operations that are going on right now, so I don't know if his "prescription" was on the up-and-up through a real physician or what, but last time I checked in the USA, purchasing mail-order drugs for which you hold a prescription is legal. Also, in 2004, HGH wasn't a banned substance.
So, I guess I just don't see the story in an athlete taking a non-banned supplement/substance, even if it was a performance enhancer, when he's holding a prescription and recovering from surgery.
There could easily be more to this story, for all I know Poo-holes and Ankiel might be injecting the nuclear-grade, German-made, old fashioned anabolic crap three times a day, who knows ... but for what information is out so far, I don't see where Ankiel did anything wrong. ... Well, I don't see where he did anything punishable by MLB's standards. That'd be hypocritical.

Congrats to Rick Ankiel, for single-handedly blowing the game for the Cardinals tonight by committing two errors in right field during an inning in which the Reds scored 6 runs.
Rick Ankiel makes Manny look like a freakin' gold glover.

The dude goes from not being able throw a ball over the plate to not being able to catch routine fly balls.
The meltdown has begun!
