Is there a test?

**TheNextBigThing** · 08-01-2005, 01:12 AM

Don't worry, I searched and really couldn't come up with an answer. Basically, I just need to know if there is any type of testing that could show IGF use? There are now tests for GH but I have heard nothing of IGF. Also, GH is detectable for over eighty days, does anyone know how long IGF is detectable for (if it even can be detected)? Thanks for the help.

i don't think that they can detect lr3 igf-1 yet cause they test for bound igf-1 and since lr3 bounds very poorly to igf binding protein,well its just guesing from my side.

That does make sense, thanks for the reply. Does anyone else have any ideas?

They can test your igf-1 levels and if you get flagged then ask for a retest. Then 1-3days later they will retest you and you be clear for reason that rodge just sayed and because you normal igf-1 levels comeback quickly.

So there is a test for IGF and if I am on it when I get tested it will show up as a positive for me using a banned substance?

If I do a cycle and get tested a week later, I would be fine?

I am just trying to clear some things up so I don't ruin my career, so thanks for baring with me.

It wouldn't be a urine test. As far as I know they need a blood sample to test for it.

Well, that is good news. I really don't see them blood testing me anytime soon. Just out of curiosity did you ever get tested after taking IGF?
