    Probably because there's been only one professional athlete caught using HGH.

      And how was that athlete caught? With a urine test or a blood test?

        Some of you guys are really clever. I have nothing else to say.

            Dude, clean out your ears, listen to the video again.

            Roach: (going on about how HGH can't really be caught and stops talking)

            reporter: You gonna ask for a drug test?

            Roach: No, we can't because we refuse to do it ourselves. We'd be hypocrites to do that.


            Instead of applying what YOU THINK he's referring to, why don't you just take things at face value, he answered a direct question with a direct answer.

              Clean MY ears? Who asked them to do special testing, Mayweather or Mosley? And this isn't the first time Roach has said this. A while back he was talking about how he wanted Shane tested and blah, blah..which would make them hypocrites BECAUSE when Mayweather wanted them tested they openly refused.

              Its pretty evident, considering that Mayweather was the ONLY one to ever ask them to do "special testing".

                  With the circle jerk going on in this thread, I thought there'd be something new from this video.

                    He was caught because he was tested out of season and WADA was able to compare his results to his blood profile showing the increased level of HGH during the off-season test.

                    I'm not saying HGH cannot be caught, they caught people during the Vancouver Olypics (even a guy who used an over the counter nasal spray) but the point is a single, or even a few tests in a short period of time isn't going to catch **** because of how HGH is tested. They compare the levels with their baseline blood profile (basically an average from year-round testing). So until WADA standards are actually met (which includes, year-round random testing) all this is BS posturing.
