Gary Matthews Jr. finally broke his silence to proclaim his innocence in the internet based HGH scandal. This past offseason he signed a 5 year $50 million contract with the Angels. This announcement was not surprising since Angels owner Artie Moreno was contemplating voiding the new contract. From ESPN.com:
"I have never taken HGH -- during the 2004 season or any other time. Nobody has accused me of doing so, and no law enforcement authority has said I am a target of any investigation for doing so," Matthews said in a statement released by the team.

I think Matthews is full of shit. The HGH was delivered to him. They have his name on the documents. Lets see...last year he had a career year in batting .313, home runs 19, and RBI 79 along with making sick catches like the one in the picture. He's definately guilty. Watch his numbers take a dramatic slide this year.
