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.

WTF.... you say :

"The test is ready for Athens" but then in the same post say "They still won't confirm or deny if the test that is ready will be used in Ahtens." How do you know there is a test ready ? How do you know what the IOC and international community wont admit too...

There is "NO TEST FOR THE DETECTION OF EXOGENOUS HGH " according to the NEJM.

I ask the question again...This isnt like the test/epitest levels...Since when is there a way of determining levels ? NEJM performed a study a few yrs ago that part of what made a world class athlete, was the unusually high levels of hormones they created and released..."

What data do you have REX FERAL that predicates a statement that such a test exists?
