More HGH Testing for Cyclists
December 10, 2007 | Leave a Comment
In light of many famous sports figures getting caught in the steroid/HGH web, the sport of cycling has developed a screening strategy.
Team High Road’s anti-doping program for 2008 will be run by the Agency for Cycling Ethics (ACE), which also runs the program for the American Professional Continental Team Slipstream. High Road manager Bob Stapleton called it “the most comprehensive program out there. It is what the team needs and what the sport needs.”ACE called its program “a comprehensive anti-doping program that tests for three categories of abuse – blood doping, anabolic steroid use and hormone use, such as HGH. The most difficult to test for is HGH “because it returns to normal so quickly after administration. However, ACE has had some success in detecting HGH use because of its combination of high frequency testing and longitudinal analysis. Currently, HGH use is undetectable with traditional means of anti-doping.”
