they will undoubtedly have a test at some point for the Growth, but it aint coming anytime soon.
This is a scare tactic for the athletes, IMO. Thanks for the post Rex - |
That article you posted is from Feb. bro. I told you, this was just announced. Reported by the university & by Reuters 12 days ago. They already knew what to look for from the 2000 project, all they had to do was go back & prove it. They feel that they have done enough blind studies to provide evidence in court on the 36 hour
test. They know the 84 hr.
test works they just don't have enough hard evidence to validate it yet, so they're saying 6 months. More than likely they still have some operational issues with the
test given the short amount of time that has passed since they validated the 36 hour
test & the start of the Olympics. Its obviously much easier to validate a
test where they can draw the sample one day post administration than it is to validate one that requires testing 90 days post administration. I don't think it is any diabolical plot on their part. I mean its been known for 4 years now that this was coming. If they are fully prepared to use it, they will. I mean there can't be more than 1 lab in the world @ the moment who could run a
GH test. If not, I think it will be due to much greater issues than them hatching a plot to scare people. I would say that they would not go back and
test frozen samples 6 months from now, but they did it w/ THG, so why not w/
GH. They're not playing w/ this shit anymore, its not like the old days.
