Pettitte Apologizes To Yankess and His Fans
Quote:
In a one-hour news conference Monday that neither he nor the Yankees could have ever wished on themselves, a composed Andy Pettitte apologized for using human growth hormone in 2002 and 2004, said there was no other drug use he was concealing and revealed an awkward breakdown in his communications with Roger Clemens, his friend and former teammate.
Pettitte said he had used H.G.H. not to gain a competitive advantage but to recover from injuries while with the Yankees in 2002 and with the Houston Astros in 2004. He said H.G.H. was not forbidden by baseball when he used it, although he acknowledged it was wrong to use it without a medical prescription.
“I am sorry,” Pettitte said at the news conference, which came as he reported four days late to spring training, with the Yankees’ permission. “I know in my heart why I did things. I know that God knows that. I know that I’m going to have to stand before him one day. The truth hurts sometimes and you don’t want to share it. The truth will set you free. I’m going to be able to sleep a lot better.”

At least he came forward and told the truth, can't say the same for Roger, who continues to deny and deny.
