They added a blood test last summer apparently... KenDavidoff Ken Davidoff HGH can be detected only through blood testing, and the test must be conducted very shortly after the injection.

One step closer to doing it in the majors QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 18, 2011 -> 10:57 AM) He took HGH, so his blood test came out positive for it? The other posters obviously knew what I was asking.

Real Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The thing with HGH and blood testing is they have to test you repeatedly, and compare your results with past ones, to see increases in certain areas The test doesn't simply say "HGH: FOUND", but they will see fluctuations in certain aspects of your blood tests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
