[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 550660"] History shows if there is no testing regime for a performance enhancing drug, it will be in wide use. For many participants in many sports, the difference between using and not is the difference between making 6 or 7 figure salaries and driving a truck. I'd not be surprised if over 50% of NFL players use HGH or some other untested BALCO-like variant. I couldn't say whether Packer players are above or below the league average in usage, but to think the Packers are in some way "clean" is naive. How these enhancements and the associated low BMI numbers might result in higher injury frequency is a question that cannot be investigated because usage is a guarded secret. I don't think it an unreasonable hypothesis that there might be some players who weigh, lift, hit beyond the natural capacity of their frames and personal biology or that there is a point where being too lean might be a cause of injury.
