What the accusations involving James Harrison and HGH mean
- 8 years ago
All it takes is an accusation to bring down a player, a politician or even an every day rube.
Steelers linebacker James Harrison was named in an international investigation regarding the distribution of a designer form of human growth hormone that is said by its creators to be undetectable by drug tests used in professional sports in the U.S.
The report, conducted by Al Jazeera’s Investigation Unit, doesn’t make accusations of use of the drug, named Delta-2, by high-profile players such as Peyton Manning, Julius Peppers and Harrison, as well as MLB players Ryan Howard and Jordan Zimmerman and boxer Mike Tyson, but it does show how the drug can be obtained.
That begs the question among Steelers fans whether such a report can be trusted, and what that would do to the legacy of Harrison.
