I'm sorry, but I gotta call that just what it is which is wishful thinking.
If Cushing (or anybody who uses this stuff) doesn't get a premium for their field performance and/or more durability & resilience from this stuff which they use at great peril (Cushing is out 4 games and out 4 game paydays for his first conviction), why would than even mess with it in the first place ?
The only reason I can think of is that get a big, big benefit in performance.
