In the deposition given for the Clemens Hearings, Andy Pettitte said he used human growth hormone in 2004, and that he got this HGH from his father. When I read this in the deposition, based on Pettitte’s description of his dad’s health woes I figured the elder Pettitte had a prescription for the substance in question. However, it turns out Pettitte Sr. got his stuff from his personal trainer, Kelly Blair of Houston. Blair happens to be a friend of Pettitte from high school, and is related to the Yankee pitcher by marriage.
Here we have yet another example of a guy who passes himself off as a fitness expert, but ostensibly is just someone who illegally dispenses drugs to clients. And not to professional athletes – at least as far as we know as of now - but to older adults who are in poor health. What a reputable guy. If Blair would sell HGH to Mr. Pettitte, a guy who according to his son has had major health issues and has been on disability for years, who wouldn’t he sell drugs to?
Cretins like Blair are the scourge of the strength training profession, guys with little knowledge and questionable ethics, whose idea of improving health is to supply people with illegal and potentially dangerous anabolic agents. The general public needs to be protected from people like this.
A visit to the website for Blair’s training business serves as the perfect example of how these bottom dwellers do business. In his biography, Blair states that he majored in kinesiology at the University of Houston, but doesn’t tell us if and when he graduated. There is also no mention of any professional certifications or memberships that Blair holds.
In the area where we are told about the credentials of his staff members, the introduction states that his “accomplished, nationally certified personal trainers will provide you with the best possible care,” but these certifications are not referenced. The little information given indicates that his staff is made up of a couple of people involved in bodybuilding and physique competitions.

Thanks for the kind words!

We in Pennsylvania (home to some Blairs) have been trying to investigate occult images of a discrete set of historical palm-trees mentally transmitted within social milieus -- not an easy task because there is some tendency of populations to simply race into the 'special' palm-tree regions and compete to have land, employment, and social standing. The mental set is quite small but memorable and its maintenance within brain-mass appears cretinous.

Also, quite a number of websites have been initiated with the goal to accept information about that kind of "racing".
