Major League Baseball won't be testing for human growth hormone any time soon, even though it would like to do so. Drug experts are looking for a viable way to detect HGH, but no athlete has ever tested positive for it. And there are even questions about whether HGH enhances performance. Douglas Rollins, executive director, Sports Medicine Research and Testing Laboratory in Salt Lake City, pointed out that the window of opportunity in testing is very small, making HGH difficult to detect. "Thirty hours, I'd say," he said. Other experts expressed the opinion that the window might be smaller. Bob DuPuy, MLB's president and chief operating officer, thinks the sport is doing everything it can to clean things up.

Well, well.....Selig and the his uncle Hank....these boys just wanted to hold onto the past. They screwed Bonds. Enough said.

Bonds screwed himself, thank goodness. We didn't need to rely on the inept Selig.

If they can test for and detect HGH, the home run champ next year might only have 15 of them. Bad for business.

Thank goodness. As long as we got Clemens out, I'm cool with it.

I heard and read from research that HGH doesnt even work unless you stack them with steroids, so if thats true which im not sure, then the steroid testing will take care of it. Hopefully
