About 6 years ago Graham Hunter opened up about Barcelona players using Human Growth Hormone in order to help injuries. With me being in to fitness for almost 2 decades, I always assumed these were illegal in the world of sport, I know UFC fighters have recently been busted using HGH with USADA using a more advance illegal drugs detecting system. Pep Guardiola was banned years ago when he was a player for using a steroid called the nandrolone. Depending on the drug testing system, HGH are alot more difficult to detect too with most. Reason why Pep was found with an illegal steroid in his system and why Xavi at Barcelona failed to get detected for using HGH.
Perhaps football authorities needs to be more stricter with the drug detecting systems considering how things have moved on.
