George Will made an excellent observation this morning on ABC This Week that seconded what I had been thinking as well. That is, he didn't see a moral difference between taking a cortisone injection in an inflammed shoulder and HGH to promote healing. Pettitte said he took it for 2 days - it takes at least 2 months to have an effect. Google research says that it goes for $500/mo and on the black market for $4,000 per month. Frequently, fraudent suppliers substitute HCG - human chorionic gonadotropin which is what a pregnancy test picks up. Hence, a urine pregnancy test might be a good screen to see who is trying to juice on the sly. "Roger and Debbie, I have some interesting news for you - y'all are expecting..... Oh my, Roger, I wonder what I'm going to do about that golf tournament in August ....what's another name that starts with a "K"? .... where's the gluegun, we've got to get the nursery ready.... Oh no, Mrs. Clemens, it's ROGER who is expecting, your golf tournament should go off just fine."
