Why would a GM say this?

By , 12:11 PM

The story about Ankiel being prescribed HGH is a non-issue.  Purportedly, he received HGH before it was banned by MLB and stopped receiving it after it was banned.  Even though the company that provided the HGH to Ankiel is under investigation for various illegalitities, it appears that Ankiel got a legal prescription for the drug.  So if those facts are true, he did NOTHING wrong, either legally or as far as MLB rules are concerned.  So why did Walt Joscketty say this?

Cardinals GM Walt Jocketty said: “This is the first I’ve heard of this. If it’s true, obviously it would be very tragic, along with everything else we’ve had happen to us this year.”

That boggles my mind.
