Former MLB star Mo Vaughn has publicly acknowledged his use of human growth hormone (HGH) to expedite recovery from injuries, as reported in the 2007 Mitchell Report. He revealed to Ken Rosenthal that he sought HGH injections for his degenerative knee condition while discussing enjoying baseball again, particularly through coaching his son. Vaughn stated that the narrative of HGH did not tarnish his legacy, focusing instead on his injuries as the source of his frustrations during his later career years with the Angels and Mets.
"I was trying to do everything I could. I knew I had a bad, degenerative knee. I was shooting HGH in my knee. Whatever I could do to help the process."
"I don’t consider my name being mentioned in the report a tarnish on my legacy. It had nothing to do with where my pain was coming from."
