Breakthrough Urine Test For HGH Developed
July 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment
 Finally, a test to detect the perfromance enhancing drug, HGH is making news:
A team of scientists from the USA and Italy say they have developed a urine test that detects human growth hormone (HGH). The finding is a potential breakthrough in efforts to find a non-invasive way to screen for the performance-enhancing drug that is banned throughout the athletic world.
Governing bodies and U.S. pro leagues have long sought a test that doesn’t require blood to detect HGH, a synthetic hormone that aids in recovery and bolsters muscle growth. Even with the blood test, no prominent athlete has tested positive for HGH. Former track and field star Marion Jones and some baseball players, including New York Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte, have admitted using it.

HGH Bill Altered To Help Children
April 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment
A Senate bill originally designed to combat use of human growth hormone by athletes and celebrities has been altered in recent weeks to protect another group: children who use HGH to counter growth deficiencies.
Senators Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, have dropped language in the bill that would have put HGH on the same legal plane as anabolic steroids, a move that would have severely limited access to the synthetic hormone.
For example, under the bill’s original language, HGH would not have been widely available through the mail and would not have been available in longer than six-month supplies. Because doctors specializing in childhood growth disorders often are far from patients, such controls could have caused hardship for families with children using the drug.
“We’ve ran into some things that we didn’t anticipate. We were enlightened by the parents whose children legitimately need HGH,” Grassley told USA TODAY on Tuesday. “Making it (a more tightly controlled substance) would have created a lot of red tape for them.”
However, the new draft of the bill includes language that would prohibit use of HGH “for athletic performance, bodybuilding, or anti-aging” purposes, according to Beth Pellett Levine, a spokeswoman for Grassley. Other than requiring a prescription, there currently is no list of approved or unapproved uses for HGH, which can aid recovery and fuel muscle growth.
