But Durham as you say it speeded up his recovery, others have to wait until they recover naturally, therefore gaining an unfair advantage, ie cheating, whether it be pre season or mid season it doesn't matter, he has taken a banned substance to gain an unfair advantage. He's held his hands up but in my opinion he had no other option, you can't argue with a blood test (its even more accurate than a lie detector test on the Jeremy Kyle show lol). Not only does it speed up the healing process, here's some other facts about the 'positive' effects of HGH:
8.8% increase in muscle mass on average after six months, without exercise
14.4% loss of fat on average after six months, without dieting
Higher energy levels
Enhanced sexual performance
Regrowth of heart, liver, spleen, kidneys and other organs that shrink with age
Greater cardiac output
Superior immune function
Increased exercise performance
Better kidney function
Lowered blood pressure
Improved cholesterol profile, with higher HDL and lower LDL (reduces risk of heart disease)
Stronger bones
Faster wound healing
Younger, tighter, thicker skin
Hair regrowth
Wrinkle removal
Elimination of cellulite
Sharper vision
Mood elevation
Increased memory retention
Improved sleep
No excuses MR Newton, you've been a silly silly man, you won't be the first and you certainly won't be the last (unfortunately). Thanks for your efforts but we'd have prefered them to be more natural. Respect for the way you have praised the club in their handling of the situation and I sincerely hope your apologies come from the heart and not out of the shame you feel about being caught out.
