Would there be any other reason to take this other than as part of a steroid cycle?
I'm not CnD but...
To the best of my knowledge, hCG is never taken alone. It's usually taken with Nolvadex at the end of a cycle. It raises epitestosterone so it can help you mask the use of steroids (testosterone tests usually look at the ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone). It leaves the system pretty quickly.
I've said before that professional athletes are and should be trying new drug regimens (of preferably non-banned substances) trying to find a competitive edge. This could be part of some new array of PEDs that I haven't heard of.
