Looks like HGH tests for players are coming this season:

That's a victory for the league but honestly I think they need to look at examining the drug policy a little bit more. HGH has been known to help heal players faster and when I think of guys like Santana Moss, who got involved with Doctor Galea from Canada, and how they'd probably be suspended for this new policy, I don't think it's fair.

I know it'd be incredibly hard to police who's taking HGH for a competitive edge and who took a small increment of HGH to recover from an injury faster, but that's the way it should be IMO. I'm against players that take hgh just to get that edge, but I think it should be allowed in very small doses as part of recovery treatment for an injury, similar to the way Galea was using it.

If HGH is safe and it's only benefit is to help players heal quicker from injury why isn't it standard for NFL players to be given the drug when coming back from injuries?

because rodger goodell is the devil obviously. seriously though i have no idea and i fall into mooby's way of thinking, if hgh can help players heal faster why not legalize it and regulate it, brah.

Because the NFL is stupid. ;)

I don't know about legalizing it. I mean technically it already is legal. However if what I'm hearing about it is true that it only promotes healing, not performance, then it should be utilized much more often.

Well I'm sure the only reason they haven't done it already is because players who aren't injured take it for a competitive edge. I wouldn't be the one to tell you if it does one or the other, or both though.
