Why not ? If a young man in Nick Chubb's situation could use them safely and effectively, who should say he can't ? The crap that is allowed to be shot into players to get them on the field when injured seems worse than treating an injury for recovery. I've seen too much over the years to dismiss their positive affects.

What's your thinking ?

Good point on the "health" side of it. But when it can be used as an advantage in overall performance, it is hard to legislate and control.

You'd need authorization from at least 2 Doctors independent of each other. There would be specified limitations in amounts and time of use.

How would one possibly manage that? And it still provides those in therapy an advantage in strength conditioning.

Look at what happened to Kolton. It is just about impossible to manage.

I get the point though. Something to work through. Maybe it could be pulled off without people taking advantage of it.

Speed limit sign says 55, so we go 70, or 61 if we know police only pull you over going over 7 mph over....... that kind of thing. Human nature.

Kinda why God spent so much time in the Word talking about getting along with each other and following a set of behavioral standards. There has to be a standard, a truth, or it is just a rolling morality fun ride.

Again, I hear you on this one.

Competitive balance isn't the be all and end all in life. A person's well being should factor in. Chubb isn't a race car, he's a human being.

Competitive balance isn't the be all and end all in sports, or it shouldn't be. Chubb isn't a race car, he's a human being and his health interest should factor into the equation. If the reasonably controlled and limited use of A TYPE of HGH or steroid can help an athlete recover from serious, possibly permanent injury, it needs to be given due consideration, perhaps from outside the NCAA, We all know where their interests lie.

Sure. All meds have side effects. All of them can be abused too.
