N.Y. Daily News: How HGH triangle ensnared Andy Pettitte, dad and trainer

Triangle?...Try Jenna Jameson, Melody Manlove and sicko Craig Titus!  What a mess.

The News has learned that Kelly Blair is the unnamed trainer. The gym that he owns is 1-on-1 Elite Personal Fitness, which recently moved to a more modest location in Pasadena because, Blair told someone close to the gym, he couldn’t afford the lease. Blair did not respond to recent requests for comment and did not participate in this story. He has been outside of the United States for the last several weeks.

Last month, a whistleblower close to the gym (who requested anonymity in exchange for coming forward) began describing to The News the many shipments of human growth hormone and steroids that this person said moved through the gym, including Dynabol, Winstrol-V, and Deca-Durabolin.

The drugs came from a variety of sources - from steroid-user Craig Titus, a champion bodybuilder who is facing a murder trial in Nevada for the slaying of Melissa James, his former live-in assistant, and from an HIV-positive man who used HGH to stem the muscle-wasting caused by his disease, according to the News’ source.

Titus pleaded guilty in 1995 to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute ecstasy in Louisiana. He was sentenced to 16 months’ house arrest but violated his probation in 1997 by testing positive for steroids. Titus and wife Kelly Ryan were accused of murdering James at the couple’s home in 2005. Lawyers for Titus did not return phone calls asking for comment.

pettitte used drugs without mcnamee around. Knoblauch did it also. I think it's certainly within the realm of possibility that the use of banned drugs by clemens extended far longer then the times mcnamee injected him.

Hmm, if it went far longer, he wasn't using any banned drugs back then back in the anything goes era.

It's also within the realm of possibility that Clemens used less steroids and HGH than other MLB pitchers, including Glavine, Maddux, and The Big Unit.

Roid rage and dealing with gay people - the price you pay for messing with Demon Steroids.
