Curious as to who is on that list and what the NBA would do.

Well, let's do a Google Maps search for "Biogenesis of America" and see what schools...oh.

Them again. (https://maps.google.com/maps?q=biogenesis+of+america&hl=en&ll=25.710992,-80.279846&spn=0.028497,0.038409&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=50.823846,78.662109&hq=biogenesis+of+america&t=m&z=15)

HGH for performance enhancement is a $1k plus a month proposition. I suppose if college is a full scholarship proposition and an athlete has realistic aspirations of going pro, these costs are absorbable, the proposition unfortunately doable, particularly, if the detection risks were not that great. I don't believe NCAA schools do blood tests, currently. A guess, not that much HGH among college athletes. Among pro athletes, use may be all too common. The PGA has considered (blood) testing. The NFL appears to be moving forward to test for HGH. I would think particularly in the NFL, with concern about concussions and head injury, players and team owners would want to crack down on this type of juicing so as not to exacerbate these problems.
