Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before.
"Performance-enhancing does not necessarily equal violation of the law or cheating. " You are grossly misinformed. In the NFL, NBA and yes, even the patheticly unenforceable MLB it is cheating. Possession of HGH, unless you are a legal pharmaceutical provider is illegal in all 50 states. "Shouldn't this information still be federally protected medical records at this stage?" uh... no! These weren't legitimate medical treatments. You should research the legitimate clinical uses of HGH and see why any use by an otherwise healthy professional athlete is not only ludicrous, but has no legitimate clinical indication whatsoever. This will continue until they enforce a lifetime ban for first offenders. Get caught once - never play again. That is the only solution.
