Great NFL HGH Article

[pbmax]

Covers the reasons for the population study (finds them to be either wanting or possibly rigged), how the MLB HGH policy is different from all its other drug testing protocols (and has so far caught one minor leaguer).

Also learn how many HGH positives the WADA/Olympic program has claimed over the course of its test (more than 10,000 tests, 12 positives so far).

Also covers, unfortunately in a short and non-detailed way, the setback WADA suffered when it lost a case in the Court of Arbitration for Sport over its HGH test. That WADA-adverse decision was based on doubt about the decision levels (how much is too much) of its HGH program. Its this decision that makes me wonder if the population test does have something to contribute to the debate. WADA is currently conducting more tests in response to the decision.

However, questions about that test (called an isoform test) might be rendered moot by a newer biomarker test that the Olympics rolled out for the London Olympics.

I remember talk of this in bodybuilding/power lifting magazines (Joe Weider's Muscle and Fitness anyone?) back in the '80s. Some GH related products were available, steroids were still the most effective, and HGH was not quite there yet. The article talked about how the shit would hit the fan when true synthetic HGH hit the market because it would be undetectable.

It started long ago with 'Brown-Séquard Elixir' and in the interim between the article and now, a few things have come and gone, stanozolol, Androstenedione, Bumetanide (StarCaps), etc. Now it seems that article was prophetic, undetectable fully synthetic HGH is available from 2-bit operations and the only way these guys are getting caught is through the paperwork and whistle blowers. We'll see about markers and other tests, but so far they are still pie in the sky.

Maybe Rodgers will get Braun a tryout with the Packers where testing has some holes.

Sure, you can't even remember who needs firing, but you can be all over this.
