This is from this months J Sports Medicine,(well respected publication) says that no published studies to date show that HGH enhances athletic performance in trained athletes. This must come from the same people who say that about AAS.........it certianly doesn't mirror my experience. Maybe the need some volunteers for a real study. Anyways heres the abstract,what do y'all think?

OBJECTIVE: To conduct a critical appraisal of the literature to address the question of whether human growth hormone (HGH) improves performance in trained athletes. DATA SOURCES: Used PubMed using the search terms of "growth hormone athletes" and the reference lists of previous reviews of the subject. STUDY SELECTION: Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study of exogenous HGH on muscle power in trained athletes. Only one study matched the search criteria.
CONCLUSION: There is no evidence of increased muscle strength with HGH in trained athletes
