Major League Baseball has announced it might be able to test players for Human Growth Hormone as early as next season.
The blood test, developed under the oversight of the World Anti-Doping Agency, was used on a limited basis in the 2004 and ’06 Olympics. Now it will be available for mass use within months, said Olivier Rabin, WADA director of science. “This is great news,” he said, “because we strongly believe that human growth hormone is abused in sports.”
No kidding Mr. Rabin, so you strongly believe that human growth hormone is abused in sports? You’re telling me that Barry Bonds’s doesn’t have acromegaly and he possibly could have been on HGH this entire time?
In other news, Mr. Director of Science Oliver Rabin has reason to believe the moon isn’t made of green cheese and also has hard data that Kris Kringle isn’t really who he says he is…but seriously MLB, good work on the possible HGH testing.
