Gagne says 80 per cent of Dodgers used HGH

Former MLB pitcher Eric Gagne says in his new book that 80 per cent of his Los Angeles Dodgers teammates used performance-enhancing drugs.

In his biography, Game Over: The Story of Eric Gagne, the 2003 NL Cy Young Award winner does not identify the names of players he claims used PEDs, but says, “I was intimately aware of the clubhouse in which I lived. I would say that 80 per cent of the Dodgers players were consuming them.”

The Montreal native first admitted publicly to using human growth hormone in 2010, three years after being identified as an offender in the Mitchell Report.

“It was sufficient to ruin my health, tarnish my reputation and throw a shadow over the extraordinary performances of my career,” Gagne says in the French-language book.

Gagne, who retired after a failed comeback attempt in 2010, holds the MLB record for most consecutive saves with 84. He converted all 67 of his save opportunities and posted a 1.20 ERA during his Cy Young Award winning season.
