The reporting on human growth hormone is baseball just keeps getting stupider everyday. Now Brian McNamee is claiming that he injected Roger Clemens wife Debbie. The problem is the story does not fit the basic hgh facts.
There are also more examples of how something things get said and spread around until people think it is the truth.
I followed one story back from a number of blogs to the Chicago Tribune. You would think the Tribune might take the time to check some facts and give an accurate report. No.
This from the Tribune:
McNamee injected Clemens’ wife once in her stomach in 2002 in the master bedroom of their Houston estate, sources said. Clemens’ wife is a fitness instructor and has a website devoted to the topic.
While Clemens and his wife had discussed her taking HGH, she was reluctant to have a man not her husband inject her in the stomach, according to McNamee, sources said. HGH is traditionally most effective when injected into the stomach.
When you read this it sounds like the hgh gets injected into the stomach. The image is of a giant needle on the end of a big syringe filled with injectable hgh being rammed through the abdomen and into the stomach. Wrong!
Human growth hormone is injected subcutaneously (just under the skin). This is much the same way that millions of people inject themselves with insulin.
The most effective area to do this is the abdomen. You pinch a little fat, stick in the needle and push the plunger. No giant needles into the stomach.
So simple even a Chicago Tribune reporter could do it. Easier than checking facts.
So simple, even Henry Waxman could figure it out.
