World Series champion Lenny Dykstra was a legendary player on the field but unfortunately Dykstra's personal life was marred by many things, including his arrest due to drug possession charges.

The three-time All-Star once admitted to taking performance-enhancing drugs along with his breakfast and revealed that he did so in order to gain an unfair advantage.

In 2016, Maxim quoted Dykstra replying to a question specifically about HGH (Human Growth Hormone):

Dykstra won the World Series with the New York Mets in 1986 and was a three-time All-Star. Since his retirement, he has been troubled by legal and financial problems.

Dykstra said that when he filed for bankruptcy many years ago, he owed more than $31 million and had only $50,000 in assets. Dykstra allegedly concealed, sold, or destroyed property worth at least $200,000 after filing without the approval of a bankruptcy trustee, according to the prosecution.

For hiding baseball gloves and other artifacts from his playing days that were supposed to be included in his bankruptcy case, Dykstra was given a six-and-a-half-month prison sentence in 2012. Prior to this, he was imprisoned for seven months while he awaited sentencing.

Dykstra allegedly paid private investigators $500,000 to obtain dirt on umpires throughout his playing career, which he subsequently exploited to his advantage.

He claimed in an interview published in 2015 that his attempts at extortion were obvious from the fact that he led the National League in walks, hits, and runs in 1993. Lenny Dykstra also finished second to Barry Bonds in the MVP contest.
