Heres a theory
HGH use is extremely widespread in american sports. HGH is also quite expensive. Even for those willing to pay top dollar to a pharmacist it is hard to get a doctor or pharmacist to write a script for pharmaceutical grade stuff. So often guys will find a Chinese distributor and buy generic chinese stuff. The problem with that is its never a guarentee that youre dealing with a good source. Often times the dealers in China will replace hGH with hCG. Both are lypholized powders that need to be reconsituted. They look identical. I heard a few stories of guys ordering GH and getting hCG instead. HGH is about 10x more expensive than hCG. Huge profit potential for switching the two
My guess is that guys or their trainers are ordering hGH and are getting scammed. THey think their using hGH but are actually injecting hCG. So they make up excuses why they test positive for hCG because they cant say that the Chinese folk screwed them over. [/quote]
While I find your description to be fairly accurate, I find it highly unlikely that professional athletes and their trainers would fail to obtain legitimate HGH.
This practice may constitute dosages potentially upward of 2500icu! That amount of HcG taken ED over an extended period of time will flat out ruin your body’s ability to recover your natural production of Testosterone. I’m not stating this to support whether or not professional athletes would be duped or not, but rather what I feel would be an extremely unethical practice. That’s not to say some asshole out there wouldn’t do it, simply stating that I would be pissed if I were on the receiving end of this little switcharoo. It would be a shitty thing to do. That pun was unintentional btw haha (HcG=female urine:)

The existence of “selective scammers” makes it very possible. The dealer will sell good product a few times then as the buyer becomes more comfortable making larger purchases the dealer will swap GH for hCG and make a huge profit. The athletes may get good GH a bunch of times then out of nowhere get hCG and are completely unsuspecting, hence the positive drug test on a drug with a 33 hour half life (something that should never happen because it’s not realy difficult to calculate a clearance time). And unless you are getting your drugs from a doctor/pharmacy there is no way to know what you are getting. It all comes down to trusting the source.
Yes it is definitely unethical. But it happens all the time. People buy trenbolone and pay upwards of $100 for a gram of finished product but the guy selling it gives them testosterone that costs $50 for 2.5g.

I agree that it may happen, I just don’t think that it would happen at that level (NFL athlete) when your avg. Joe can secure a good, solid trustworthy source.
The Tren example I can forgive (well, not with Tren because you can visibly see the difference). I mean if a guy subs test for sust it would be a rip-off but at least your not destroying someone’s livelihood
