New HGH Test May Change NFL: Do We Care?

[Kangaroo]

i think there is a large majority of athletes who use AAS in all professional sports, just the way it is. most testing would make the public feel better because everything would be "fair", but at the same time the public would feel slighted when the quality of play and the big hits diminish....kind of a pick your poison type of situation.

Big Hits have been around forever in football what it does is decrease the size of the players doing the hitting. Plus with the rule changes how many real big hits do we see anymore. I mean they have to play tag with the QB. Of you hit wr over the middle it will draw a flag. The NFL is already taking out the big hit in favor of high scoring offense with their rules.

Testing for HGH will not effect the hits as much as the absurdity of stupid rules the NFL has added over the last ten years

slower players = less impact on the hits. if for nothing else, the drugs allow the players to recover better from their training/practices and they can get into the games feeling fresher and more energized than if they didn't have the drugs to begin with. this in and of itself has to give them an edge.

If I could afford HGH I'd take it in low doses without question.

It is extremely beneficial with very few side effects. It has been prescribed for years and is a large part of why AIDS patients have stopped wasting away.

It basically causes you to burn fat at a rate like in high school and especially targets belly fat. Read the Harvard studies on it.

 

[jterrell]

The key targets will be Runningbacks,Linemen and especially linebackers.

Patrick Willis, DeMarcus Ware, Jared Allen.

Guys like that who are so freakishly big and strong and fast.

I am not saying any of those 3 are on it, but those are the type of names that will probably get caught. We are kidding ourselves if we assume this era just has crazy athletic guys. I think every player in the league is on something, whether it's just harmless weight gainer or dietary pills or not. I don't believe there are many players that don't take some sort of substance. And eventually whatever they are taking will probably be banned as well.

The athletes almost always stay ahead of the curve in science though.

Any athlete not taking whey powder and using creatine is not really an athlete.

I am fairly certain HGH use is around 70% for NFL players. It is insanely high to be sure.

Just hurry up and start using it in baseball so A-Roid and Mark Teixeira can be suspended for 50 games and they can both bat below 300 and hit 30ish homeruns only.

dont hate

It's one thing to test a substance you excrete every day. Moving from that to a blood test is a major invasive step.

How much does it cost?

If they have a test and there is a very low false positive rate, then use it and suspend those caught. Do I really care though? No. As long as the NFL continues to attempt to keep things fair for those that choose not to take these substances. Players will just find some way to get around the test or find something else they believe will give them an advantage over their competitors.

You could buy it at GNC just a few years back. I took it, and so did every player on my football team in high school, and all of my friends that played in college. (one is in the NFL now. So I know for a fact at least one player on it in the league haha)

You can buy it is Powder form or pill form. For the longest time it was just considered to be like any other supplement but it had much better results. Didn't make me catch or throw the football any better,but I do feel it helped me recover quicker between workouts.

Er, no, you couldn't ever buy HGH at GNC or anywhere else over the counter...

And Josh Hamilton is tested something like five times a week due to his former (recreational) drug problems.

Yes you could! It just wasn't called HGH.

Then what was it?

I think you must be thinking of something else. We're talking about human growth hormone, right?

Sytopin and Genf20.

There were several other things like HGH that they sold as well. One was a pill called T-Bomb or something like that.

There a few on this page that they actually sell at Vitamin world and GNC.

Those "HGH boosters" aren't even close to the same thing as real HGH.

Those supplements are 90% bunk. And I'm probably being generous.

Are you an HGH guinea pig or something?
