NFL hopes to test for HGH

NFL want to test players with NFL jerseys for human growth hormone, and Major League Baseball has started talks with its union to investigate the test that led to the suspension of a British rugby player.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Wednesday that the league had made a proposal to its players in January regarding HGH. Discussions are ongoing, he said. “Our position is that HGH testing has advanced to the point where we are taking steps to incorporate it into our program,” Aiello said. “We have proposed it to the union.” “We believe in and collectively bargained for a system that supports the testing of all banned substances,” he said.

“I’d prefer urine testing. It’s easier, especially for people who are afraid of needles,” said infielder Josh Vitters, the Chicago Cubs’ top draft pick in 2007.
