Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment – a Bust? »
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are something fairly new in the world of sports medicine. It probably received its most press in early 2009 when Pittsburgh Steelers wide-out Hines Ward used it to try and speed the healing of a medial collateral ligament (MCL) sprain. Whether or not the treatment actually helped, Ward played in the [...]
Science of HGH Testing »
So yesterday I commented on the news of rugby player Terry Newton receiving a two-year ban because he tested positive for growth hormone. Now I’ve had twenty-four hours to look the story up I figure its time to discuss the actual test itself.
Growth hormone has long thought to be untraceable due to its incredibly short [...]
HGH test leads to ban of rugby player »
It has just been reported on ESPN’s website that the first successful test for Human Growth Hormone (HGH) has been used to ban a rugby player. With this test now being available for use in all anti-doping arena’s I don’t expect this to be the only athlete caught using HGH. I guess the big question [...]
Mark McGwire and Mark Twain - not so different »
Democrat Ryan McKenna’s of St. Louis’ first piece of legislation was renaming part of Interstate 70 Mark McGwire Highway. But now that Big Mac has admitted steroid use, the Senator wants to change the name back to Mark Twain Highway.

Mark McGwire comes clean about being dirty. »
This doesn’t come as a big surprise to anyone in the steroid industry but it’s certainly something to write about. I think its interesting that McGwire is willing to talk about his steroid use now (that he is getting a job back in baseball), seemingly after the statute of limitations would have run out for [...]
2008 tax records for the National Physique Committee, Jim Manion’s salary, etc… »
While I realize that non-profit Organizations do earn money, I’m at a loss to explain how the NPC (National Physique Committee) legitimately meets many of the requirements to be treated as such legally. Still, as they are registered as an NPO, their financial records are subject to public disclosure. Form 990, the one I’ve published [...]
The first UK GBL death »
The Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine has released a report of the first UK death from the Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB) precursor Gamma Butyrolactone (GBL) on the same day it became a scheduled substance in the country. In 2008 a 25-year old man died after taking the drug while in a night club. There [...]

“The two largest steroid busts ever, Operation Which Doctor (February 26, 2007 – $30m dollars and 24 defendants nationwide) and Operation Raw Deal (September 24th, 2007 – $6.5m dollars [...]
Cheating for Success with Ultimate Fate »
Two researchers from the University of New South Wales had an intriguing article published by the British Journal of Sports Medicine earlier this year. They wanted to compare attitudes of the general population to those held by elite athletes by offering the same proposal that had been asked of the athletes over twenty years ago, [...]
