Report: Pettitte’s HGH traced to old classmate

Andy Pettitte’s father obtained the human growth hormone he supplied his son from a trainer who attended high school with the New York Yankees pitcher.

Kelly Blair, who owns a gym in Pasadena, Texas, was the source of the substance, the New York Daily News reported.

Pettitte, who has admitted using HGH in 2004, told congressional attorneys that he received it from his father, Tom Pettitte, who has had serious health problems. In his deposition, Pettitte, who attended Deer Park High with Blair, said his father got the drugs from a trainer at a gym where he worked out but did not identify the trainer.

Pettitte is due to report to the Yankees today after receiving permission to arrive late.
