Others have turned from synthetic substances to human-growth hormone, which is virtually impossible to detect. Some have retained private labs to help them cheat...
...Wheatstone Bridge-double differential CH3C6H2 (NO2)3 set. These people are mere cogs; automata; they simply feel to make sure you have punched the right holes.

"Daddy always taught us it wasn't right to waste money," says the chain-smoking Schott. "When I see someone cheat for two bucks it makes me want to throw up." She was devastated by the conviction of former Reds manager Pete Rose for tax evasion, but it has not slowed her pace one whit...
