    Hopeful this doesn't rub anyone the wrong way but I honestly don't understand what the big fuss is about.

    From what I understand (which isn't much, admittedly) HGH basically helps you recover from injuries and allows you to work out harder/longer without the crazy side effects that typical steroids have, right?

    I thought the reason steroids are illegal is because of the dangers that they pose to the body.

    If anyone has any info I'd really appreciate it, b/c it seems to me like HGH is just an incredibly awesome version of muscle milk or whey protein or whatever else athletes use to fine tune their bodies that are deemed legal to different sports leagues.

    I think you need to do more studying if you truly believe HGH has no serious side effects.

    I think the real question is: What's the big deal about sports?

    Shouldnt they ban smoking and alcohol as well? Those two are much more damaging to your health.

    Yeah. They should. Unfortunately, too many US citizens are already physically addicted to such things and thus our government will not ban them. (tried banning the booze once. failed.)

    They should also ban the unnatural motion of pitching. And being 300 pounds and able to run a 4.5 40.
