The players should refuse to submit to testing. If every single player refused testing the NFL would have a problem on their hands. They can’t suspend everyone.”

Uh huh. How many of those players will start missing those paychecks? Most are living paycheck to paycheck believe it or not. Baby mommas, entourages, jewelry, and high end bar tabs aren’t cheap!

You’re safe big boy!

HGH is why we get players back in the same season rather half way through the next. It’s why the players can take some of the hits they do and not liquify internaly.

As players stop using HGH we’ll see longer recovery times, more players exiting the game early in their careers and ultimately more injuries.

We’ll soon find out how many players use HGH. Big question will be an immediate suspension or warnings.

James Harrison will be suspended for failing the HGH testing…

Let a player take human growth hormones or any other physically enhancing/mind altering drug just so the game is faster, the players more ferocious, and the tackles more brutal. Just so it whets our vicarious pleasures for inflicting pain. I wonder how many of these posters who think drugs of any kind should be permitted in the NFL would allow their sons to use the same drugs while playing grade school or high school football. And when these kids hit college, maybe you want to deal with ‘roid rage.

The guy gets cut multiple times, bounces around from team to team, then almost overnight becomes one of the best pass-rushers in the league. Something is off there.

Same with Clay Matthews, his USC Teammate Brian Cushing has already been caught with Steroids. You have to think Matthews may be on something as well.

I’d love to be proven wrong, but you have to be suspicious of those two especially.

At Amy given time 90% of Pro football players are taking Roids. Part of the sport. Explain how average “Joe” breakable leg, he’s on crutches for 8 months
A WR does, he misses 3-4 games……….. Yeah ok! Too much money involved. But I still watch

That makes it fine for 12 year olds, then? As long as they are “athletes” and it is “used properly” by them. I hear it’s all the rage in some Asian countries to put young kids on HGH. Create the next Yao Ming.

The NFL is purely for entertainment purposes only. Plus with the new labor agreement they get all types of improved health benefits. It’s win-win.

Take the HGH away and start the decline in product quality (smaller athletes, less anger, softer hitting, shorter passes). Who ends up getting screwed….THE FANS.

It’s OK for players who are on crutch’s before a game to be shot up with every kind of pain-killer know to mankind so they can play. Yet an effective drug that can help a player actually heal is banned…..

Obviously you have no idea what HGH is, what it does when used properly, and why athletes use it.

I would like to believe his is clean, but a kid should not be able to run a 4.3 and bench 475 lbs as a snack. They say he can do way more than that but the weight coach wont let him.

If you can win a Heisman Trophy in college, you can become independantly wealthy from that alone. Not to mention the big four year guaranteed contract you sign before your muscles start to atrophy and your head shrinks back to it’s orginal size.
