Not to mention Rick Ankiel and his HGH use, which was only uncovered through his supply chain and not testing.
There has been no HGH era, because HGH still goes undetected by current testing methods. You can still use it and get away with it, just make sure your supplier doesn't get caught.
LaRussa is (or has been) "win at any cost". Reminds me of the Sensei of the Cobra Kai dojo from "Karate Kid". Nothing would surprise me about him.
"Sweep his leg, Johnny".
