The
test is ready for Athens. It has only recently reached fruition as a project, last month. It was not available before then. The
test they have ready detects
GH up to 36 hours out. They have another that detects up to 84 hours out. The latter is not ready, but will be soon, so they are talking about using it retroactively like they have said they were going to do w/THG, using frozen urine samples at a later date. They still won't confirm or deny if the
test that is ready will be used in Ahtens. Either way, 36 or 84 hours of cessation will not be significant in terms of performace enhancement. Only stupid athletes will
test positive on
GH in Athens, on either
test, whenever they do it, if they do it. This is well known & they will be prepared. The quest for a
test for
GH was abandoned when it was obvious they would not have one ready for Sydney. Instead they focused their efforts on EPO testing, which they now have. They then went back & perfected
GH testing.
