HGH Test May be Ready

A new test completed in Switzerland may be able to detect human growth hormone in athletes and be ready for the Athens Olympics. The World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) is the body that comes out with these tests. They are the body that puts in place the standards for tests for steroids, drugs, and other illegal items.

WADA has chosen to not publish whether the text will be available or not. This will keep anyone attempting to cheat unsure of whether their actions will be caught or not. WADA also says that even if the treatment is not ready by Athens, by taking samples from the athletes they will be able to test them after the fact to identify anyone using illegal substances. HGH is one illegal substance that there has been no detection method for. Officials hope that this new test can help put an end to cheating in sports.
