Saw this item :

and wondered when Lawyers will stop trying to cash in on Sport ?

Apologies , seems filter takes exception to this christian name ! Off subject , the ads under the first item on each page delay the page arriving in low broadband area , occasionally preventing ANY upload ! " from around the web" maybe important to the revenue but i am not interested in " the secret of dara's abs " even if the picture is flattering .

Another good job by Mr. Pound.

The last SI article on Wonderboy had some very damning things to say about the NFL's commitment to PED's.

"... The NFL, which gave ADR grants of as much as $200,000 per year for the same reason [HGH test] as baseball did, recently ended their relationship a year early, according to NFL spokesman Greg Aiello, because Catlin's work had reached what Aiello calls a "dead end."

So, Catlin had MAYBE $500,000/yr to develop a test for HGH from MLB/NFL combined many years ago. Both federations measure their revenues in billions and darn it there's just not enough money to fund an HGH test. The simple facts are Catlin had at least some of UCLA's deep resources to get his breakthrough tests completed. There's no way $500,000/yr was going to get another test completed. And that was by design.

Same article has some interesting nuggets that deserved their own space about the U.S. Olympic Committee. Lots of PED stuff mentioned in that article that people largely ignored. SI can't directly challenge the IOC/NFL/MLB though.

Am I the only one that notices many high school football players making *enormous* size/weight gains in the first few months in a college football program?
