PEGylated MGF

At the start of the year 2014 this news dominated the broadcasting about the Wintergames in Sotsji Russia.

Full Size MGF – New Doping Substance from Russia

I posted about MGF earlier here: //www.juicedmuscle.com/jmblog/content/mgf-mechano-growth-factor

The most credible German TV station (ARD, 02.02.2014) revealed with an undercover journalist that some well-known Russian biology professor/scientist (they do not mention his name) is selling a new doping substance called "Full Size MGF".

The undercover journalists got 1 milligram of the drug “Full Size MGF”,  to test it.

For 100,000 euro the rogue scientist , working at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow , could provide an amount (100 mg ) that athletes could  use for the Winter Olympics in Sochi . The ideal time to take the product would be 2 or 3 days before a contest

They gave the "Full Size MGF" to the IOC/WADA Anti-Doping Laboratory in Cologne. According to the IOC/WADA laboratory, "Full Size MGF" acts like IGF-1, but much stronger and they also stated that they have never heard of it before and that they of course don't have any test for it. . David Howman,

 Director General of the World Anti- Doping Agency , WADA , was therefore shocked when he saw the WDR report . "It would be naive to believe that they are all athletes who will participate in Sochi are pure. " The IOC doping testing plant in 2453 in Sochi , the highest ever number of doping tests at the Games .
The most interesting part is, that this Russian biology professor/scientist is apparently selling MGF since 2010! That means the IOC/WADA might be 3-4 years late!

Is this new??

Of course NOT, in  April 2013 this headline appeared on the news and the web:
