Here is part of an article I found stating that HGH might not be all its cracked up to be.
(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Athletes who risk their careers by taking banned growth hormone to improve performance may not be getting the benefits they'd anticipated, according to a new analysis by researchers at the School of Medicine.
The team pooled data from previous studies in an attempt to summarize what's known about growth hormone's effects on athletic performance. Although this analysis may not reflect the way athletes actually take the drug illicitly, the lead author of the study, Hau Liu, MD, said with growth hormone in the news, it was a good time to scrutinize what was known about the drug.
Athletes' use of growth hormone is banned by the International Olympic Committee, Major League Baseball and the National Football League. It is also illegal to distribute the drug for the purposes of sports enhancement in the United States. Despite this, athletes have been accused in recent months of taking the drug to boost their strength and performance. One attraction to growth hormone as an athletic enhancer is that it is difficult to detect.
But growth hormone may not deliver the benefits some athletes expect. "What we saw is that while there was a change in body composition, that didn't translate to an improvement in performance," said Liu, a clinical scholar in endocrinology at the time of the study. The work was published online March 18 in the Annals of Internal Medicine and will be in print May 20.
Trust me, if athletes weren't getting any benefit in their game from juicing up with HGH, they wouldn't be risking their entire careers for it. If it didn't work Barry Bonds head would still be the size of a normal human.

But it does, and they use it. And Barry's head won't fit in a 5 gallon bucket.
