I don't know how they will accomplish this but they are threating to test for HGH in the NFL and the Pro Baseball.

I don't see that legitimately happening for at least 18 more months.

You sure thats the right link ?

I don't think that the link is the correct one, but I read an article that stated the NFL is going to be testing more players and added a few drugs to the banned list. The only one I remember seeing was EPO and they said that they will test for HGH "when" there is a good enough test.

Test suspension, gh and IGF are tolerable in the NFL considering they usually have an idea (within 48 hours) when they could POSSIBLY get tested. From the few whisperings that I hear from 2 particular "trainers" I know, I would assume those are the only options.

Just how are they going to test for GH?

Yes they can, but from what I hear, there is no way to to tell the difference between natural and synthetic IGF levels, which means that you may just have higher than normal levels. This and the fact that IGF levels rise and fall depending on things like when you work out and what you have to eat. Like previous issues with HGH testing, there is just no fool proof way to do it yet, which is not fair to athletes. I hope it is a long time before they can really develop a test but who knows.

Sorry guys...the link only lasted for 1 day. But apparently the article stated that the NFL would start doing test's for HGH. I don't know exactly how they will do it but if you do a search on Google...you will see more recent articles on the subject...

That just means you need to get jacked before you go Pro!

**TheNextBigThing** · 02-11-2007, 10:41 PM

The only thing I found was the same thing I saw before stating that they would test for GH when there was a sure way to test for it (meaning not yet). Could you post a link of what you are talking about? I would appreciate it.

I think that's such BS that the NFL is going to start testing it. Now a lot of great players are going to be retiring sooner. All those fat ****s at the WADA need to mind their own business.
