GMM: According to AP, cheaters in the Olympic arena have reason to be worried. A new test has been developed which can detect human growth hormone (HGH) up to three weeks after an athlete has dosed themselves.
The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency is onboard. They have endorsed the test, which uses blood samples to detect HGH.
The World Anti-Doping Agency still needs to validate the test, but insiders expect that to happen imminently. The old test only detected HGH from a half a day to three days from the athlete dosing themselves.
Makes you wonder, If world-class athletes only had to go-off the drug three-four days before testing, how many did this, used the drug to enhance training and performance?
"This is an important step," said Travis Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. "We're hopeful it's going to be approved by WADA soon."
