Former MLB Star Mo Vaughn Admits to Using HGH Late in Career

The 1995 AL MVP revealed he used human growth hormone to manage a degenerative knee injury before retiring in 2003.

Mo Vaughn confirmed he used human growth hormone (HGH) to recover from a degenerative knee injury during his MLB career.
The former MVP admitted to injecting HGH in his knee, citing efforts to extend his playing career despite ongoing injuries.
Vaughn was named in the 2007 Mitchell Report for purchasing HGH three times in 2001, years before MLB banned the substance in 2005.
He played 12 seasons in MLB, primarily with the Boston Red Sox, and earned a spot in the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2008.
Vaughn's injuries, including a ruptured biceps tendon and knee issues, ultimately led to his retirement from professional baseball in 2003.
