NFL Owners, Players Still Unsettled on HGH Screening

When NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and players union chief DeMaurice
Smith stood on the steps of the Pro Football Hall of Fame seven weeks ago
to announce ratification of a 10-year labor deal, it appeared to be a
historic moment for the nation's most popular pro sports league.
.
Besides resolving financial issues, the deal called for the NFL to become
the first major pro league in the USA to implement testing for human
growth hormone (HGH), a synthetic, performance-enhancing drug typically
taken with steroids.
.
After years of haggling, it was widely viewed as a groundbreaking step
that could deter cheaters, boost the NFL's image and send a strong
anti-doping message to young athletes.
.
Yet three weeks into the NFL's regular season, there is no HGH testing.
.
It remains the one unresolved issue lingering from the labor dispute,
which shut down the sport during the offseason with a 132-day lockout by
team owners. The NFL Players Association (NFLPA) has not approved the
league's proposed testing plan, maintaining that tests developed by the
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) which flag a positive result when ratios
of a hormone naturally produced by the body are abnormal are not
reliable. The union wants more information to support the validity of the
tests.
.
The NFL had hoped to begin random blood testing, even on game days, at the
start of the regular season. Urine tests are used to detect other
substances banned by the league, such as anabolic steroids, diuretics and
certain stimulants.
.
"I don't have any issues with giving blood, but it's got to be a test
above reproach," said linebacker Scott Fujita, the union representative
for the Cleveland Browns. "So far, there hasn't been a test that's valid.
There are so many issues that make it a slippery slope. This can't be
rushed."
.

rushed."
.
Gary Wadler, a long-established anti-doping voice and past chairman of
WADA's prohibited list and methods committee, dismisses the players'
concerns and defends the validity of HGH tests, which were first used at
the Athens Olympics in 2004 and are evolving. According to The New York
Times, there have been seven positive results involving athletes worldwide
in sports that adhere to WADA's standards. Besides the Olympics which had
zero positive tests in two Summer and two Winter games minor league
baseball tests for HGH.
.
There is no evidence to pinpoint the level of HGH use in the NFL, but
Goodell said at the start of the season that he suspected some players use
it. In August, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Anthony Gonzalez told The
Indianapolis Star that he could not estimate a percentage of violators but
that he was certain some players use HGH, which is illegal to have in the
USA without a prescription.
