Human Growth Hormone does not bring back ones prime.
It merely induces a state of growth that allows the body to grow in mass and strength.
Shane Mosley in search of bigger purses, made the jump from Lightweight to Welterweight, bypassing the 140lb duivsion.
To help him do so, Mosley sought out BALCO. A pharmecutical company which had been affiliated with the success of other athletes such as Evander Holyfield and Marion Jones.
At this time Balco were seen to be a perfectly legitimate supplementation company which also came highly advised by Mosley's strength and conditioining coach.
Mosley underwent a course of "boosters" from BALCO before the ODLH fight.
To the best of Mosley's knowledge he was being administered "revolutionary" new supplements that would help him forge a legacy in the Welterweight division.
In reality BALCO injected Shane with HGH "the cream and the clear."
Upon testing Shane strongly denied accusations and even went as far as to file defamation claims. Investigations were ongoing, Mosley vehemently denied steroid usage.
When suited with the results Shane held his hands up and admitted that these substances were indeed found.
He then filed a suit against BALCO.
Shane utilised BALCO's products to gain size, hardly a massive injustice as he would have gained very little in terms of performance other than the bulk of a man at 147.
Shane to this day is injecting supplementation, although now I believe he is more guarded and utilises primarily anti-oxidants.
