FDA review of the compound
Status, identity and study notes.
No. The world sport list names it and bans the class at all times.
Short answer
Why “it only prompts your own hormone” does not help
World sport bans both growth hormone and peptides that make the body release it.
Prompting the body to make its own growth hormone is exactly why these peptides are banned, so it is not a way around the rule.
The separate medical process
An athlete who needs a banned medicine for an illness can apply for an official medical exception, called a therapeutic-use exemption.
The relevant anti-doping body can explain which process and timing apply to that athlete.
Keep this line
For a tested athlete, a claim of “natural release” does not change the prohibited-list entry.
