Isn't that an expensive blood test?

I don't understand the huge fascination with cleaning up the sport when ticket prices are so fucking high these days. Get what you pay for.

Yes, but they can afford it. What kills me, is the only performance enhancement with HGH is the recovery property. It's not a strength drug.

I feel safer already knowing NFL players are being drug tested.

About time they crack down on the NFL...

I guess you can say goodbye to guys coming back 3 months later healthier than ever from career ending injuries.

Whatever. If there's any athletes that require GH and juice, it's American Football Players.

Exactly! I do not want drug free football players. If I want to watch slow & small people play football I'll watch tape of me in High School playing football.

I am unsure on this one too. My thinking is that the athlete using HGH can recover from his workouts faster? Therefore he can train longer and harder, thus he'll end up stronger than the athlete that doesn't use HGH? I don't know a ton about it.

how are they going to test, just look at the players IGF1 levels?

It's possible to be doing 10iu of 'magic' hgh a day and not have appreciably high IGF1 or IFGbp3 levels

its also possible to be completely natural and have IGF levels in the high 400's

Looks like Von Miller is going to be suspended 4 games for something.

I AM SO SICK OF THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT PUSHING THE TESTING FOR BASEBALL, FOOTBALL, ETC.....

WHEN WILL WE SEE THE GOVERNMENT GO THROUGH A BATTERY OF TESTS?

TO SEE IF THEY ARE ABUSING DRUGS, ALCOHOL, ETC.....WHEN WILL THE GOVERNMENT FACE SOME SCRUTINY???

GEITHNER DOESN'T EVEN PAY HIS TAXES........YOU KNOW HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE.......HOW MANY PARTY ANIMAL DRUNKS ARE IN POLITICAL OFFICE.....THESE PRICKS ARE SO HYPOCRITICAL!!!

HELL......LET'S JUST DRUG TEST EVERYONE........HALLE BERRY......SEAN PENN.......CHARLIE SHEEN......ETC...

All the testing is getting out of hand. The witch hunts are back! At least the UFC allows "trt" for 25 year olds

bwahahahahahahahaha

The only problem with this are the sheer amount of idiots I work with who will further use this to claim their worshiped players are all-natural.

Nobody knows what HGH really does over long periods of time and at diff/types of doses..But studies show that HGH over long periods of time show Diabetes type II...The only people arguing this stat are people who are knee deep in HGH. Imop HGH may wreck lives over time...The same way alcohol does...

Hockey and Basketball are given a free ride...Hockey because most people don't care and like football, they are full of pads and can't really see "the person"...Basketball they don't care because most of these guys have HGH problems to begin with...If you test a guy 6'10 for Hgh, most people would understand that his hgh levels will be much higher than the regular person.

if the nfl tests for gh, look for new unheard of players to breakout, inujuries wont be able to be played through, and older players will be forced to retire.
