Is Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Testable in High School Drug Test?

[john s]

Hello, I am playing rugby this year and have been working out for a long time. My progress is slow and Im about to start taking HGH. Please dont tel me of the dangers because ive done my research. Anyways, is HGH testable in a high school drug test (Its a hair test) - My school does random drug test and about 1/10th our class will be tested, so i was wondering if they do give me a drug test, will it show up? (They test for stuff like weed, cocaine, and others, but Im not sure if hgh would show

So far there isn't really an accurate test for HGH. Supposedly there are tests out there, but there isn't one standard, accurate test -- though there are drug testers that say they can detect it. IFIK only blood or urine tests are useful for any hormone testing, though a hair test is good for checking long term use of most common drugs.

[edit: ok, I agree with versantly but I'm sticking with my comment lol -- but, yes, talk to the coach.]

it could be if the lab is testing specifically for it. ask the coach for specifics.
