Roger Clemons was on HGH, but that HGH didn't make him the pitcher he is in terms of talent. What it did do is prolong his career and basically slow down the aging process. (same with these hitters and nfl players)


I didn't post any "biased" articles. I posted documented facts. If you have documented evidence to disprove that evidence, by all means share.
But that was my whole point. HGH isn't going to enhance performance to the point where it's going to make a star out an average player. It's not going to make a bad player an average player. This isn't baseball. That's why Roger Goddell needs to leave it alone. It's not going to make David Boston play like Jerry Rice. It isn't going to make Santana Moss play any better. Is it going to make him heal faster from an injury? Maybe. If it does then the NFL should want it's stars on the field. Is it going to prolong someones career? Again, maybe, maybe not. If a guy plays a long time, like Jerry Rice, or Darrell Green, he's working out like a mad man and taking care of his body, he's eating right, he's training hard, he's doing all the little things that it takes. The HGH plays such a SMALL factor that it's just not that important to worry about. Especially when there's a lockout going on.
