HGH

Human Growth Hormone is a drug that was developed to help unusually short children grow to a healthy height. It's also used to help people suffering from severe illnesses like AIDS to recover from the ill effects of wasting disease, so that they can regain more muscle function than they would be able to otherwise. In sports, athletes use it to slow the effects of aging, giving them a sort of second wind - at the cost of fair play. It's favored among athletes looking for an unfair advantage because it has far fewer side effects than anabolic steroids.

HGH is an anabolic growth hormone, but not a steroid. It aids in the growth of muscle, and is generally used at a time in an athlete's life when they are starting to lose muscle mass. Taking the drug also makes it so that an athlete can train more often, as their muscles recover faster from strain. It can also prevent injuries from developing, because it increases the speed of muscle growth.

The side effects include a change in face shape, hand shape, severe organ growth and an increase in cancer risk. The organ growth issue generally only happens if excessive amounts are taken, but it can result in death and cardiac problems. Organs like the heart, kidneys and liver can all grow to abnormal size due to taking HGH, which can have very dangerous consequences for the sportsman that takes it. HGH is also very hard to test for, as it occurs naturally within the body.
