It won't stop the advancement of new designer PED's but since HGH is so readily available and I believe widely used it will help.

What percentage of elite swimmers would you guesstimate are perhaps using HGH now?
Fort is that your picture for your Avatar. It looks like you are getting younger. What are you taking to look soooo fit?
Haha. My daughter just took this picture yesterday. I put it up to show Chris Stevenson and Paul Smith that I don't need no stinkin yoga,
I take caffeine in the morning, flax seed oil for my dry eyes, Immucore vitamins and a crap load of allergy meds. I also use Kinerase products and have given up potato chips. lol
Great news there! Any step in the direction to stamp out PED use in sports is a step in the right direction.
Anyone found dirty with HGH in their system should get a life time seat on the side lines---
"H.G.H. has become a popular drug among athletes, doping experts say, because of the increased testing for steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs."
I'm just glad that the elite swimmers haven't been using it.
I thought you might enjoy the following from a very quick googling of HGH. ( I particularly liked the references to Samaranch, China and Arnie :weightlifter:)
