What do you think about HGH being linked to Rick Ankiel???

Question by Cardinals = Greatness: What do you think about HGH being linked to Rick Ankiel???
He ordered a 12-month supply of HGH (Human Growth Hormone) in 2004, one year before MLB banned the substance. Ankiel didn't order anymore of the drug after it was banned. While the drug was not illegal in baseball at the time, I'm still disappointed that Ankiel used it. Although it was legal at the time, do you think he'll get in any kind of trouble?

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.

Do you think steroids and growth hormone being pumped into farm animals is making humans look more muscular?

Question by cannonball: Do you think steroids and growth hormone being pumped into farm animals is making humans look more muscular?
In almost all cases, corporately farmed animals are given HGH and steroids. Does this have an effect on the human physique?
If you look at humans now compared to even 50 years ago, there is a big difference in appearance. Humans are becoming bigger and more muscular.

Being just short means that you are short in comparison to the population at large. This is because you are carrying the genes for shortness. You acquired these genes from your family. So if you are about your mom's height or your dad's height than you are short.

Pituitary dwarfism is dwarfism due to under production of Human Growth Factor (the hormone which controls human growth. This is a disease. It is treated, if diagnosed early by replacing the missing hormone.
