ESPN: Goodell: HGH Testing a MUST in Next CBA

Americans don't care about the Olympics as much as they care about football.

Neither do I for that matter - but it's a very big business and global news and they manage to operate a very strict drugs policy and testing across global Borders and legal jurisdictions with very little controversy. It's about having a will to do this - the practical and legal issues are pretty small.

I said something about the high school kids earlier in the thread, I think in the OP. I agree that blood testing is a good thing for the most part. I just see it as a can of worms that can hurt the NFL as well. Doesn't mean I still wouldn't go with the moral and ethical decision of testing anyways, though.

I'm not sure it would hurt the NFL. Players might/should get smaller over time though with modern training regimes and diet I'm not sure if that would actually happen. They might just stop getting bigger. The point is it would be level playing field where genetics, talent and hard work would be rewarded not a chemistry degree.

The common response is: "it's invasive."

So is taking a shot to numb an injured joint but that happens in every NFL locker room on a weekly basis during the season.

I'd bet the PA is against it for other reasons.

I agree.

Is there good testing for HGH?

I'm for a completely PED-free league... part of watching professional athletics, for me at least, is admiring the ability of these guys and knowing how rare their talent is compared to any level I have or could have played at... I don't want to watch say a chris horton run around the field like a laron landry due to the junk he's willing to inject in his body... the sport becomes a spectacle at that point, for me...

I like watching people do things that are impossible so...more PEDs please.

I miss 185-pound shortstops hitting 450-foot bombs.

We are a bunch of hypocrits aren't we? We live in society that endorses ogmentation, viagra, plastic surgery, even jeans that makes your butt look bigger. But sports always tries be the moral police for "the integrity of the game". Please, I wonder what's the ingredients in those 5 Hour energy drinks that helps some of us get through the day.

This is a ridiculous post.

And its "hypocrites" and "augmentation". ;)
