There's Something Strange About Colin Kaepernick's 'Furious' HGH Denial

NFL's Colin Kaepernick gave a confusing response Sunday when pressed to explain allegations that a clinic sent NFL-banned performance-enhancing drugs to his house, first calling the reports "complete trash" and then stating the only substance he ever took after his 2015 surgery was a supplement called AlphaTren. The problem with his response? It's not a complete denial.

While denying using HGH, he's admitting to using a supplement that the NFL is considering adding to the list of prohibited substances starting next year.

There is no doubt that Colin Kaepernick will go down as one of the best NFL players ever, but many critics believe his use of AlphaTren and PowerBoost X will jeopardize his legacy. The reason the NFL is pushing to ban the two supplements for two simple reasons.

1. This combo has been clinically proven to boost muscle growth rate by an average of a 150%! This would make an aging athlete like Colin Kaepernick stronger than NFL players currently in their prime!

2. These supplements do not have to be used in conjunction with a gym. So whether players train or not, they will put on strength. This NFL believes this will plague the league with more career-ending injuries.
