AJC : Braves’ prospect unable to clarify HGH charge {RR}

Schafer was targeted in an investigation that began in spring training. It was conducted by baseball’s new investigative department, which was created after the Mitchell Report on performance-enhancing drugs came out in December.

There was no positive drug test — baseball doesn’t recognize any test for HGH as reliable (though the World Doping Agency says there is one).

The official would say only that there are other “non-analytical” means of establishing guilt, including possession of a drug.

“I want so bad to clear things up, and I want so bad for Jordan to clear things up,” said David Schafer, a Florida businessman. “But unfortunately the powers that be say not to say anything. I want so bad to straighten this thing out, I just can’t say. ... I don’t know what to do. He’s in a bad spot. It’s not the way it seems.

I would say why I posted this, but my attorneys told me not to reveal anything.
