While critics such as Richard Griffin, Toronto Star Baseball Columnist, argue that Andro is a "testosterone-producing product that is banned in the NFL, Olympics, and NCAA," they fail to mention that neither the NHL nor the NBA has banned this over-the-counter product.

Regardless of whether or not he would be known, after all, the project was deemed Top Secret, he would still know. That was all he believed he needed. He was wrong. He dwindled in his memories.
