Interesting that the authors choice is to not want to take them in the end. Wonder if in a difference situation if that would change, or it is a way we are individually hardwired.

The impact of HGH on vision is certainly an eye-opener (sorry about the pun )
Amazing that all that stuff is apparently legal in that jurisdicition

My understanding is that all that stuff is legal in any jurisdiction. Its just against the rules of most sports.trailgumby wrote:Read that one awhile back, but never ceases to fascinate.

Methinks they have decided that not testing is less embarrassing than the amount of positives they were getting a while back...Magnum9 wrote:Also surprised that pro baseball has no drug testing at all!

The story going around at the time was that the improvement was so great they decided not to publish the result.
I still think it would be fascinating to read the outcome!

As for baseball, I wish I could say I was surprised.
