The story you linked to implies that his recovery from elbow surgery in 2004 was linked to HGH, when he was still pitching. But “one of the best stories of the summer” is that a once promising baseball player whose career as a pitcher flamed out is now making a comeback as a power-hitting outfielder. There is no report attributing his current success to the use of HGH.
