Here is the best way to root with Jose Reyes: That his current thyroid
problems are just the (bad) luck of the draw, that they weren't caused by
outside influences, that they are easily treatable, that he gets back on
the field fast, that he gets back to being one of the fastest, most
exciting ballplayers in this world. It is not just the best way to root,
it is the only way.
Reyes says he told the feds he didn't get human growth hormone from a
Canadian doctor named Tony Galea, often regarded as a patron saint of HGH.
<snip>
Understand: Just because Galea likes human growth hormone doesn't mean
that Reyes does. You know by now that both Reyes and Carlos Beltran - who
was also treated by Galea - have given us the same version of what they
told the feds:
They never touched HGH, whether it's legal in Canada or not.
And just because Reyes now has a problem with his thyroid gland, and is in
New York City for sophisticated testing on it, does not mean those
problems were caused by any kind of synthetic drug in his system.
Maybe the simplest explanation is this:
Reyes has a thyroid problem and the test he takes Monday in New York will
show it is nothing more complicated than that, answer questions and not
create more, for Reyes, for Jeff Wilpon, for Omar Minaya, for Major League
Baseball.
<snip>
Now he's hoping to find out why he might have an over active thyroid. So
are the Mets. They are being properly cautious with Reyes and so would
you. But nobody should be surprised that people are looking to draw a line
from Galea to what showed up in Reyes' blood tests. That is the modern
culture of professional sports, which means the drug culture.
Is there a way human growth hormone could have contributed to Reyes'
thyroid problems? There are doctors who think so. Would they ever say HGH
definitely caused Reyes' problems? No, they would not.
"Good medicine is about eliminating possible causes," Dr. Lewis Maharam -
a doctor of sports medicine who has made sense about performance-enhancing
drugs for years - said yesterday. "It's about differentials, making a list
of possibilities and then eliminating them one by one. But there is a
possibility that human growth hormone could cause a spike of thyroid
hormone levels."
