all of them, I know a lineman in the NFL and he told me point blank that everyone he knows in the NFL takes HGH to help repair and recover faster, I actualy asked if was just exaggerating a bit and he said NO and that all his team mates take hgh , however this was back before steroids were all over the news about 7 years ago i guess maybe 6yrs

Found in a diff forum:
hello to everyone..iam a national level athlete.(sprinter)..i have a drug tested event on mid november...iam planning to start a cycle on mid june of halo(30 mg ed for 4 weeks)and test prop 100 mg eod for 8 weeks..i know for sure that test will be out of my system in a month,but how about halo?i will be taking it until mid july,thats 4 months before the event..will it be safe?i want to know the maximum safety time..i kno that detection time for halo is 2 months, but is this standar?i ve heard (rumors???)that oral winny is now detectable for 50-60 days now...(it was 28 days)so is there any chanse 4 months after i stop halo still be detectable???any expirienced atlete who knows for sure??thanks
I am sure guys are doing stuff like this for all sports. I honestly don't care as a paying fan I wanna see athletes perform!! The ONLY year I have really ever payed attention to baseball was the year McGwire and Sosa were going at the Home Run Record and what do we know about those two.

Improved doping test for growth hormone on its way
Sat, Apr 24 2010 By Frederik Joelving
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Anti-doping agents may soon get a better shot at catching athletes who inject growth hormone to bulk up and enhance performance.
Agents currently have only 24 hours after the prohibited substance is injected before their lab tests can no longer trace it. But a long-awaited experimental test that works for at least two weeks after drug use just cleared an important scientific hurdle.
On Wednesday, British doctors reported that the new detection method is reliable even in junior athletes, whose naturally high levels of growth hormone in principle might have triggered a false alarm.
"Despite the fact that there are differences in hormone levels in young athletes, none of them was falsely accused," said Dr. Richard Holt of the University of Southampton, U.K., who tested the new method on British elite athletes aged 12 to 20 years.
"Our hope is that if you have an effective test, that will dissuade athletes from taking growth hormone," added Holt. The findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
Human growth hormone is naturally produced in the brain's pituitary gland. It stimulates bone and muscle growth, which has put it on the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) List of Prohibited Substances and Methods.
Tests for the hormone were only introduced in 2004, according to WADA's website. And this past February, British rugby player Terry Newton became what the agency called "the first completed case involving an analytical finding for human growth hormone." He accepted a two-year sanction without contest.
The new method works by detecting two proteins -- called IGF-I and P-III-P -- that are present in the blood and reflect growth hormone levels. Known as GH-2000, it was originally slated to be introduced at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. But scientific concerns about its reliability in different ethnic groups and age groups held it back.
At this point, said Holt, it has cleared all except one hurdle, and his team expects to complete the pre-market tests by the end of 2010.
Holt and WADA, which funded part of the GH-2000's development, do not want to reveal the exact date the new detection method will be introduced. They prefer it to make it a surprise to any athlete who might be cheating.
"We strongly suspect that a number of elite athletes are abusing growth hormone as a means of improving their performance," Holt said

Remember David Boston? There is a good example of the obvious, guy was a beast.. I would say a very large % did do it but that % probably has gone down some since everything has become so public. Either way, i don't care, let them do what they want... The sports will still be the same.
