NBA, Players Agree To Add HGH Testing 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Apr 16, 2015 7:59 pm

The NBA and National Basketball Players Association have agreed to add HGH blood testing to the anti-drug program.


If a player tests positive for HGH, he will be suspended 20 games for a first violation, 45 for a second violation and dismissed and disqualified from the NBA for a third.

Honestly with how the league is run,I bet with the most valuable players,the league will look the other way.You might hear of some scrub off the bench, whos name you have never heard of get a 20 day suspenision.This will end up just like the flopping rule...

Lebron was OBVIOUSLY using HGH.

You don't just lose 30 lbs in 2 months.

I don't care if you're eating nothing but carrots and water.

And he just happens to lose all that weight after the league announced HGH testing would begin?

Hmm....

See the problem with the whole Lebron is taking something theory is if it was that easy to become that dominant than why aren't there more Lebron type players in the league ? If all anyone has to do is get injected with HGH for ten plus years and your automatically the leagues best where are the other users that play at that high of a level ?

Its about durability and recovery time

You dont get injured as much and you recover much faster

Think about lebron in those terms, also why guys dont take it and become lebron

LeBron is going to drop a lot of weight again before next season by going off the PEDs so he can pass his test then transform into the incredible hulk during the season. this yr was a trial run and it worked out great. to begin the season he was thin, weak and lacked explosiveness. he needed "rest" so he went to Miami for two weeks! Miami the PED capital of the US doesnt seem like a place to rest. his body transformation after that was insane and he was suddenly an unstoppable force again
