USADA announced today that Patrick Mendes of Las Vegas, Nev., an athlete in the sport of weightlifting, has accepted a two-year suspension for his use of Human Growth Hormone (hGH).
Mendes, 21, tested positive for hGH as the result of two separate samples collected on February 7, 2012, and February 27, 2012 as part of USADA’s Out of Competition Testing Program. The samples were tested at the WADA-accredited Sports Medicine Research & Testing Laboratory (SMRTL), located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Human Growth Hormone is prohibited under the USADA Protocol for Olympic and Paralympic Movement Testing and the International Weightlifting Federation (“IWF”) Anti-Doping Policies, both of which have adopted the World Anti-Doping Code.
Mendes, admitted his use of hGH and accepted a two-year period of ineligibility, which began on March 19, 2012, the day he accepted a provisional suspension. As a result of the sanction, Mendes is also disqualified from all competitive results obtained on or subsequent to February 7, 2012, the date the first blood sample was collected, including forfeiture of any medals, points, and prizes.
“This case demonstrates yet again that the hGH test works to stop this dangerous drug from being used in sport,” said USADA CEO Travis T. Tygart. “We are pleased the athlete in this case chose to admit his use of hGH and accept the sanction. USADA remains committed to detecting and deterring the use of this performance-enhancing drug so that all clean athletes can have confidence in the integrity of competition.”

It's interesting as Hgh was consider a "go to" pre meet drug for many Olympic lifters, etc...... Interesting to see if this changes anything. Also the USADA is starting to pick on the NFL about their policies again as seen in the second link.
Shame, strong kid.

Yes, you're right looked very small on the bench when he was doing 500 but he got it up, strong fucken dude.

His coach has the most ridiculous, retarded training theory ever - max out 7 days a week and never take a rest.
clearly you need to be on some insane drug regime to survive that but there were hundreds of dumb kids hurting themselves trying it a year or so ago, because mendes 'worked hard and was just naturally big and strong'
