There is a proper usage for everything. It's sad that abuse and superstition have turned it into a boogyman because now there is no way it can be properly added to a rehad routine.

Gordon, Root's doctor, offers a compromise: Let athletes use the drug when they need it, but with controls. He suggests the leagues take the IGF-1 levels of every rookie to establish a personal baseline, just as they do with cognitive tests that are used later to evaluate when players can return to play after a concussion. When a player suffers a serious injury, he would apply for a medical exemption that might permit the use of HGH for a limited time and under league supervision. Levels of IGF-1, which can be measured in urine or blood, would be checked during and after the rehabilitation period to ensure the drug is not being abused.
I'd be totally cool with that happening. It's BS that the leagues take such a stance on blood tests. Unless someone is a hemophilliac, there is no reason why they can't submit to a blood test in order to make a minimum of 317,000/yr.
