For helping children with deficiencies in HGH ... yes.

For treating adults with deficiencies in HGH that would otherwise lead to decreased strength and bone density ... yes.

To help a high-school or college kid beef up to be a bigger linebacker ... no.

To help a professional linebacker keep up with other professionals ... no ... but for different reasons. They're adults, and can do whatever they want to with their own bodies (as long as they are informed of the risks). But (a) as a lover of sport, it is (IMO) missing the point of what sports should be about; and (b) far more importantly, professional athletes are models for aspiring college and high-school athletes.
