A CDN University athlete has tested positive for HGH and becomes the first athlete to test positive for the Human Growth Hormone.

If a Canadian College can test for this how soon before MLB, NFL, NBA and the NHL start testing for it.

Meh, that's a bit harsh. Obv a lot of teams suck but the top end is still fun to watch.

I'm guessing you didn't watch a lot of Danny Brannagan at Queen's, if any at all.

I'm more interested in how they conduct the HGH tests, last I heard there weren't any practical options available for reliable testing of athletes. Do they test Olympic athletes for HGH now too or is this still a fringe test for athletics?

Who cares what league it is. If you dont think that all those athletes that used steroids have not considered or are using HGH your nuts. If they have a cost effective test this will have an impact on those sports. They can now catch Tiger too

Best game I ever saw live was a CIS semifinal game between Waterloo and Ottawa in 1996 (disclaimer: Waterloo grad).

I heard an interesting story the other day. Friend of mine who knows Hank Haney says Haney said "Tiger works out like a madman for 3 hours a day. If he was on HGH or something else, he'd look like Hulk Hogan by now considering how much he works out".

Apparently Haney also said that he told Tiger to stop spending 3 hours a day working out/30 minutes putting and should instead spend 30 minutes a day working out and 3 hours a day putting.

And during the latter part of the season, McNamee injected Clemens in the buttocks four to six times with testosterone. Also injected Clemens four to six times with human growth hormone,'" Wallace reads.

"My body never changed," Clemens says. "If he's putting that stuff up in my body, if what he's saying which is totally false, if he's doing that to me, I should have a third ear coming out of my forehead. I should be pulling tractors with my teeth."

Ok but dont you think that any athlete that was willing to use steroids to improve his performance would not have any issues using HGH since currently no testing for it? Heck if a CDN collegiate athlete will use it.......

"a World Anti-Doping Agency-accredited lab in Laval, Que., said the blood tests on 20 Waterloo players were the first set of HGH tests conducted on Canadian athletes."

So has anyone been tested in the US at all then? 1/20 on Waterloo is pretty insane. NFL players union is against this test anyway..never going to happen.

That was really funny and many will not know why. Here comes another P90X sucks thread


My guess is you tested NFL and US college and NHL and Baseball you would see higher positive results than steroids.


Also I agree the NFL players Union would never agree to this. Reality is it will be a common test at the next olympics

eh, I will admit I don't watch much. my most recent memory of it was watching the Calgary-Laval game in the '08 Uteck Bowl. Laval won 59-10.

This completely screwed up the entire season of CIS football. The schedule is completely insane teams have like 3 games in 11 days.

Suspending the whole team was absurd i mean really, get rid of the people who did it and test the entire team, but everyone shouldnt pay especially the other teams whos schedule is now a mess.
