Love the picture of the syringes, except for one thing. HGH is injected in virtually minute amounts with a very small syringe called an insulin pen.

Kobe is without a doubt on HGH

Lebron I am not sure about yet.

Kobe is going to retire just in time… Btw, he travels to germany once a year in the offseason to undergo a “special” knee surgery. Nobody knows exactly what it entails. Just saying, im preparing for it.

Watever. This aint football. All these girls cry about breathing on them wrong. Not a very manly physical sport.

Don’t Worry Heat fans. Lebron Makes Stern too Much Money, Lebron tests results would never get released.

Obviously people like Lebron James and Howard and others use something because the size of their shoulders is unnatural. That gives them huge upper body strength that has to help in their playing. Its one thing exercising and using weights to increase their strength like Kobe but some of those player out there are going much further than that.

nor will the players union.

This is mostly a PR thing, HGH use is said to be ineffective, with about the same results as a placebo, and may actually reduce the stamina of an athlete using it.

That said, it’s mostly used outside of competition (unlike blood doping or epo for example) and only remains detectable for 24 hours.

They’ll make a big hoopla about starting HGH testing, talk about keeping the sport clean, and then implement a testing strategy that will essentially ensure that nobody ever gets caught using it.

No big names will get busted. Stern won’t allow it.

Hell, I’d take HGH if it would help me play in the NBA.

HGH testing is needed for PR purposes only. Studies have not shown any benefit to strength or performance in people who do not have a HGH deficiency. HGH is really not an effective PED.

I for one sure hope Kobe has a good store of blood bags ready for the playoffs. And if he’s not taking EPO, he sure as hell should be.

That was the attitude in the 90′s for MLB fans, and look at them now. It really shouldn’t matter so much. They get paid to entertain, and what they do to themselves should be their own business.
