NFL, NFLPA To Discuss HGH Testing At NFL Scouting Combine

Filed Under: injury, labor, legal, nfl, rumor, topstory

The NFL and NFL Players Association will conduct meetings at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis that should help lay the groundwork for rules changes and tweaks to off-field aspects of league business. This year’s sessions will be held under much less adversarial circumstances than in 2011, when the two sides were bickering over a new collective bargaining agreement that didn’t get finalized until the summer. But there should still be some spirited debate between NFLPA executives and player representatives about two significant issues: human growth hormone testing and player safety. The NFLPA successfully resisted the NFL’s efforts to implement HGH testing for the 2011 season. NFLPA executive George Atallah said Friday that talks between the sides “are better” but there is still no agreement on the horizon. “It’s dependent on information,” Atallah said on Sirius XM NFL Radio. “We believe the proposal we gave to the league, which includes a population study for our players and fair appeals rights, are really not dependent on a date. The league had talked about last August wanting to get the program launched. We would have loved to been able to do that, but the data was lacking. You want to have transparency. Once we have that, we’re going to get going.”

they're going to discuss it and after 2 minutes, when they realize they can't suspend half the players in the league, they will move on to a more important subject ................. playing more games in Europe.

I think your figures a bit high. I dont think that many do HGH. Maybe 20%

Maybe among players trying to get a roster spot that need to toughen up, but I dont think the NFL is as bad as everyone suspects.
