Matthews: I have never taken HGH

What did you expect him to say? "You got me." Yes this could be a mistake, but it took sixteen days for him just to make a statement. When the statement was made, the Angels front office was able to finally relax. "As long as this stuff's accurate and is what it is. As long as nothing else pops out, we're fine," Stoneman said. Matthews was suspected to have bought HGH over the Internet during the 2004 season, when it wasn't one of the illegal drugs banned by MLB's joint drug policy. Matthews, who signed a 50 million dollar deal this off season with the Angels, hit .313 with 19 HR and 79 RBI.
