NFL proposes drug testing players for human growth hormone
The NFL has proposed blood-testing its players for human growth hormone, officials familiar with the deliberations said Tuesday. The NFL Players Association, which would have to ratify the change for the testing to be put into effect, opposes the proposal, saying that players should not be subjected to blood-testing.
The league currently has HGH on its list of banned performance-enhancing substances but does not test for it.
“Our position is that HGH blood testing has advanced to the point where we are taking steps to incorporate it into our program,” said Greg Aiello, the NFL’s senior vice president of public relations.
