NEW YORK — The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association announced today that blood testing for Human Growth Hormone (HGH) will commence under the league's anti-drug program, effective with the 2015-16 NBA season.

As part of the collective bargaining negotiations in 2011, the NBA and the Players Association agreed to a process for determining how HGH blood testing would be implemented in the NBA. With that process now completed, beginning with the start of 2015 NBA training camps, all NBA players will be subject to three random, unannounced HGH tests annually (two in-season, one off-season), and players will also be subject to reasonable cause testing for HGH.

If a player tests positive for HGH, he will be suspended 20 games for his first violation and 45 games for his second violation, and he will be dismissed and disqualified from the NBA for his third violation.

I would suspect Lebron as well even though he is the VP of the NBAPA. We will probably see skinny Lebron again pretty soon.

Under the guise of him trying to follow Tim's example of losing weight to extend his career.

MLB and NFL both went to shit after this. Now it's NBA's turn

[hater]

I dont get how they cannot do a weekly test for all playera. Kiggas got the Money for it. Shit i could play if that was established

[Tuddy]

Such a joke that it's taken this long, it's so obvious that they were happy to turn a blind eye to it. Testing has been over here in Australian sports for more than 5 years.

[Tuddy]

And LOL at the suspensions. Anywhere else in the world its 2 years the first time and life ban the second.

Absolutely. I also said I wouldn't grudge it should you win and I ain't grudged it.

Is it the UCLA shit factoring in the Westbrook love fest?

No, he's terribly human and a made a conscious decision after Durant went down to not go quietly into the night with a 2015 calendar & a #2 pencil.

Don't even begin with how much this shit has harmed MLB. Vieweres digs the long ball

And their (MLB) record book, once a sacred scroll is nothing but lies. All because of greed and the vision of the blind.

[K...]

Maybe this isn't so much, dont take HGH, but don't take so much you look like WADE and throw the whole conspiracy open. It's like Lance, Everyone was cool with the doping except the small guys, well he assholed his way to the open and look where we are at now.

They'll keep the tests secret and only the real dumbfucks are get tagged. Remember this is entertainment first, sports second

[Malik Hairston]

Banning PEDs in sports is fucking stupid, tbh..

[Mikeanaro]

Lol thats a joke like the anti-flopping shit is nothing to be afraid honestly they will do tests on scrubs nobody is gonna touch Wade or Lebron.

Let them juice up, it's not the olympics.

Pardon me, but, that's chickenshit, Hair.

[Malik Hairston]

Pardon me, but, that's chickenshit, Hair.

Why?

They get paid to entertain, they are far more entertaining when juicing..

Baseball was much more entertaining when Barry Bonds was hitting 70 home runs..

[Splits]

Banning HGH in any sport is dumb, especially basketball and cycling. It's used to recover, not fucking juice up like anabolic roids.

Even pro wrestling during the juicing days was better.

Hows life, Cub? Looking forward to the playoffs?

Sure. Though it seems like we haven't been in 'em for a decade. '10 seems like a lifetime ago.

[DMC]

It's stupid. Who cares what they put in their bodies? I guess it's ok for them to be fat fucks and choke on their own uvula on a couch during reruns of 3's Company at age 42... but no growth hormone.. fuck no.

[DMC]

Sure. Though it seems like we haven't been in 'em for a decade. '10 seems like a lifetime ago.

Yet it was only 1 year after you got here.

You'll see another, Cub. The boys at home will one day take a step past Boston.
