Minor leaguers will be the guinea pigs, but hopefully this will lead to a reliable test. Long live 61 and 755!

I thought I remember Victor Conte saying that HGH can't be detected yet...

I was wrong, the quote I was thinking of is from someone with the World Anti Doping Agency that said HGH won't be detected in urine tests during his lifetime.

Conte said this about HGH blood testing: "Blood testing is not effective for HGH either since it can only be detected for 24 to 36 hours. Only one positive test in history."

good that they test it at the minors so that the precious superstars have time to get that stuff out of their body and we can cheer them:D
