I thought HGH was undetectable?
Massive blow for him and American weightlifting.

Undetectable by urine. With blood tests they can find out how much growth hormone you have in your blood, and if it's too high they say you're taking hgh. If someone naturally had ridiculously high levels of growth hormone (not sure if that's possible), they're shit out of luck. It's not like steroids (besides testosterone) where they can detect synthetic hormones.

somatotropin.. hmm..  i smell that on workdays.. need to snort that thing and train like mendez until i get to superheavyweight beast level too.  :strong:

srs - is that supposed to get mendez ligaments/joints strong enough for his muscles?? whats the main benefit he gets from taking it.. that is assuming he only used 1 type of PED which is most likely not the case.
