NHL Delays HGH Testing Until '14/15 Season

If baseball is any indication a lot of players you would never suspect could be using a form of HGH. A lot of hockey players are as big as most baseball players and a lot of baseball players who tested positive for HGH were in fact smaller than many average hockey players.

Even the Sedin's are bigger and bulkier than some of the players on the HGH lists.

So we really may see some very random names pop up if the NHL makes an effort to actually strongly enforce it.

HGH is more for recovery than to add bulk from what I understand. Also, they've got PED's down to a (literal) science both in how much, how often and how you train when you take them - not like your average juice head at Gold's Gym whose got 22 inch pipes and 8 inch calves. If people in cycling are doping, you can bet most players in the NHL are getting every advantage they can get.

No, it isn't possible to put that much muscle on in 9 months without some serious hormonal help, and even if he were on PEDs, 20lbs in 9 months is a bit unrealistic. Could Lappy gain 20 "good pounds?" Yes but even then half of it would be fat, 1/3 would be water, and the rest muscle. 20lbs of muscle gain (excluding fat gain) would take 11-12 months...and only N00Bs get that rate of muscle gain in 12 months anyway, and Lappy certainly wasn't a N00B to the weights. So no, Lappy surely did NOT gain 20lbs of muscle and stay clean.
