Sturphy Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 ESPN report: "BOSTON -- The U.S. Attorney's office here said Wednesday that a St. Louis company admitted distributing human growth hormone to athletes and entertainers, and agreed to pay a $10.5 million fine and to cooperate with investigators. The company, Specialty Distribution Systems Inc. (a subsidiary of Express Scripts), said in a news release that it "does not condone the use of human growth hormone for anti-aging, cosmetic or performance-enhancement purposes." The U.S. Attorney's office disagrees, saying that Specialty supplied HGH for a "well-known" athlete in Massachusetts and an "entertainer/athlete" who received a shipment was 6-foot-5, 276 pounds, according to the New York Daily News." Let the guessing games begin I guess. 6' 5" 276 lbs. Confusing sentence for sure. Are they saying there's 2 people involved? 1 "well-known" Mass athlete and 1 "entertainer/athlete" who is 6' 5" 276? Or is it just one guy? I think they're saying two people. 6 foot 5 276 entertainer/athlete has got to be a former athlete turned broadcaster, doesn't it? Charles Barkley? Mike Golic??

abishagenaden Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 6 foot 5 276 entertainer/athlete has got to be a former athlete turned broadcaster, doesn't it? Charles Barkley? Mike Golic??

Sturphy Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 My first thought was a WE wrestler or something like that. That is a very likely thought. My mind didn't go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 My first thought was a WE wrestler or something like that. 6'5''.. 276.... Do you smell what the Rock is cooking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vet Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 "well-known" athlete in Massachusetts... Probably Tom Brady. We know the team cheats, makes sense that the QB would cheat as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory_n_az Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 (edited) Entertainer/Athlete is WWE's and St. Louis's Randy Orton IMO (already been suspended once or twice in their lax Wellness program). Weight is a little less (though who knows in a fabricated WWE weight world) Edited September 20, 2007 by cory_n_az Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donutrun Jellies Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 6'5''.. 276.... Do you smell what the RockET is cooking? Fixed with RockET ... Think Clemens lies on his height/weight enough to make him the chief suspect from his days in massachusetts? He did get freaky better at an old age after being washed up -- and certainly didn't get any smaller along the way ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a very popular wrestler that is from Mass. John Cena ? (sp?) He's only 6-1, but maybe John Cena Bio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilwiggum Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Probably Tom Brady. We know the team cheats, makes sense that the QB would cheat as well. If it were Brady, it would not be to get a strength advantage for the NFL. After getting beat up all day, he needs to go home and have some strength leftfor Giselle.

balliet12 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 This article gives a few more details. It is definitely 2 different people. The Massachusetts athlete received the shipments in Jan. 2002 and Oct. 2003, and the 6'5" 276 lb entertainer/athlete got a shipment in Jan. 2003. http://www.dailynewstribune.com/business/x1941734367 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
