Lenny Dykstra Comments on HGH Use During MLB Career

We all know this stuff goes on all the time. Almost refreshing when someone is honest about it.

I put (HGH) in my cereal man. It was in my cereal. We're talking about the good stuff … We're talking about the difference of making $30 million or getting a real job and working and making $60,000. What, do you want the guy next to you taking them and you're not going to take them?

I said, 'Look, this year is going to determine if I get paid and be an everyday player or not. So I need something to keep me strong.' I went and read about the runner Ben Johnson who was the first guy to use [steroids]. I went to the library and I found I needed Deca Durabolin. The doctor said, 'okay.' and he writes it. He said, 'come back and I'll show you how to do it.' Then I hire a trainer and I show up to spring training looking like Greek statue, 190 [pounds]. Now, I lead the league in hits, I hit .325, hitting .400 in June, the cover of Sports Illustrated. You think they work? Maybe.
