from what i understand from the little Ive heard so far is that hgh injected into the tissue is considered a PED (although slight) vs if the hgh is injected into the cartilage which speeds up the healing process.

given the difficulty in proving the intent of the injections, how much and where . . . i dont think it would be possible, punishment wise, to treat the 2 differently.

It would be nice if the nfl did away with the blanket 4 game suspension and tailor the suspension to fit the substance.

IMO roids and their masking agents should get they highest levels of punishment. (6 games)

HgH (which seems to be real prevalent given no testing, you can only get caught if an investigation is started and your name pops up) and other banned substances should get a lesser punishment (4 games).

Im not a fan of banned substances, but Hgh is a different kind of cat. i think the majority of players using a banned substance, probably use HgH b/c it is almost impossible to get caught for.

I wish Hgh could be tested, im sure by the time they figure out how to, the players are on to another new better PED.
