No, it isn't. At least what the SWATS guy was peddling to practically all of the SEC wasn't. It was actually either bovine or human IGF-1 (surprisingly, you can't tell them apart in testing) but the method of administration (oral spray) rendered any potential effects useless.

As to is the use of HGH rampant? I'd be a little suspicious of the 60% number at the college level simply because of the number of athletes that would involve but I strongly suspect it is very widespread.

As others have said, testing for it just doesn't work. There are tests to detect it, but they only work if administered within a few days of use. Unless you're incredibly unlucky, you aren't going to get caught.

Or just just train really hard like Scott Cochran demands.
