Weightlifter Pat Mendes became the first American in an Olympic sport to test positive for HGH and be disciplined for it.
Mendes, the top-ranked American in the over-105-kilogram weight class, admitted he used HGH after it showed up in two samples tested at an accredited lab in Utah, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said in a news release Monday.

I had no idea there was a test for HGH

I agree if it weren't for track and field the US would of came in 2nd in medals to china
-
It's not so much that the US doesn't know how to dope, it's the USADA testing, if you're in a power sport with a known drug problem, and it's not a popular or monied sport in the US, they are going to test you till the cows come home. Certain other countries set up their anti doping programs so that the athletes can dope during the off season and only step in a few months before big competitions.
Alas, we'll never adopt a nice strategy like that.

I think countries like china, iran and the former soviet states don't do any REAL in-house testing and assist in masking for IOC tests
Something that the GDR, USSR, and USA of old, all once did...
-
dickhead probably read on bb and lifter forums that hgh was safe from testing. as said, filt!

Yes, they do have in house testing, but it's there to help the athlete, not shame them. They help with drug choices, etc......, and if they do pull an athlete for positive testing too close competitions they don't ban them and are polite in discussing it.

I see a direct correlation between HGH use and the number of plates on the bar. Interesting, something to keep an eye on.

Amazing transformation ;D ;D
Regarding the testing, i thought it was only possible to test positive for gh if you injected 2 hours before the test or so? Do they have different tests for it nowadays?
