Former American League MVP Mo Vaughn fessed up to claims in the Mitchell Report that he used performance-enhancing drugs, nearly 20 years after its initial release.<\/p>\n
In an interview with The Athletic\u2019s Ken Rosenthal, the former Met admitted to using human growth hormone (HGH) in an attempt to prolong his MLB career.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was trying to do everything I could,\u201d Vaughn said. \u201cI knew I had a bad, degenerative knee. I was shooting HGH in my knee. Whatever I could do to help the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
The three-time All-Star played 12 years in the league, spending eight of them with the Red Sox, where he had his years and swatted 230 home runs. <\/p>\n
He won the MVP in 1995.<\/p>\n
He then left the Red Sox and joined the Angels on a then-record six-year, $80 million deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His first season with the Angels was where his health troubles began, when he injured his ankle and knee while chasing a pop-up in foul territory and wound up falling down the steps of the dugout.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The injury came two batters into the season\u2019s opening game.<\/p>\n
He later missed all of the 2001 season and retired in 2003 because of knee troubles after two lackluster seasons with the Mets. <\/p>\n
In the midst of his battle with his own body, he made three HGH purchases in 2001 in an effort to get healthier and stay in the league for a bit longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The evidence was reported in 2007 in the Mitchell Report, a 409-page report written by former U.S. Sen. George J. Mitchell of Maine that cited 89 players in an investigation of steroid use.<\/p>\n
A former Mets batboy and clubhouse employee Kirk Radomski is said in the report to have provided Vaughn with the HGH \u2014 but he never provided him any \u201csteroids\u201d by definition.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t sell steroids to Vaughn because Vaughn was \u201cafraid of the big needles,\u201d and the HGH allowed him to use smaller needles to inject into his troubled knee.<\/p>\n
HGH was not banned by MLB until 2005, which was two years after Vaughn\u2019s final career game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
