Mr. WEO Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Who WEO? Dr. Feelgood? Seriously? Seriously. If studies could show a benefit in returning to full health or speeding of healing, why wouldn't it be a positive thing? If it's worthless, then all will no it's not worth taking. Any rehab specialist (MD) or orthopedic/Sports Medicine doc could administer it. "Dr. Feelgood" refers to narcotic prescription, which is already widespread, but does nothing to promote health or healing--it usually does the opposite, allowing players to continue to play while damaged.

Captain Caveman Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 God, I'm feeling old today, I could use some HGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurmal34 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) What's my issue? You don't see the slippery slope? Player X gets injured and uses HGH to recover and comes back bigger, faster, and stronger than ever. This advantage causes him to beat out player Y for player Y's previously held spot. Player Y is well aware of Player X's use of HGH to recover from his injury and attributes Player X's use of said hormone to the loss of Player Y's job. Suddenly Player Y gets an "injury" that requires HGH to recover from. Dude, the entire league will be on HGH in less than a year. How do you not see that?

I'm sure there's probably a few that aren't on them regularly, but I'd be willing to bet 50% or more are on cycles. And most of not all have been on at some point in the I careers.

Ohiostyle Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 JJ Watt. I have to believe he has it in him. But he means too much $ to the league, no way they let him go down. I bet after testing begins, his performance drops significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 ok. Didn't mean to get nippy there. Just saying.

RyanC883 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 the whole testing thing is a ruse. Test everyone at least once a year randomly or don't test at all. the costs of the testing are minuscule. The union would never agree to testing everyone though. too many of the older players would get busted. my guess for first person getting busted: a backup somewhere.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Yes, we all know that if you mean "directly". What it does do, however, is speed up the recovery process which lets the user train harder to get bigger and stronger or heal more quickly. Personally, I expect older guys to be the main users. Those early aughts Pats* teams would have been a good bet back in the day, for example. so or they could just make it completely legal as long as it's monitored by team and league officials and doctors to keep it safe. The days of steroids being bad for you ended when guys stopped sticking themselves with dirty and re used needles. When it was done in the alleyways and garages of dealers. Steroids are so safe that doctors administer them for patients. Like cancer patients. For your body to recover. We just need to regulate it better. Because there isn't a single competitive sports player that doesn't or hasn't used steroids in a long time. :worthy: What's my issue? You don't see the slippery slope?
