NBA: Stern: HGH testing starting next season

David Stern expects the NBA to adopt blood testing for HGH by the start of the 13-14 season.
“We watch what’s going on in baseball, we watch the negotiations that are going in with football, and it is my expectation that by next season [we] will be doing blood testing for HGH,” Stern told WCCO radio in Minnesota. “Our players have been terrific. They lead this in some ways, saying, ‘ We do not want to have anything less than the best.’ That’s been the way it’s been since 1983.”
Stern said Wednesday that testing hadn’t been implemented to this point because “there hasn’t been a favored testing protocol yet” and stated that he didn’t believe the NBA has a serious problem with HGH, which is on the league’s list of banned substances.

“If I say I don’t have a concern, everyone says I’m a Pollyanna,” Stern said. “I don’t have any reason to know one way or another. My guess is an my hope is that it’s not widely used in the NBA.”


Who's the first to be caught? Bible? DWade?

Heat/Memphis/Lakers= ed

This is total B.S.! Punishing athletes who hit the weights & supplements to better themselves…

R.I.P. Bible Kemp's career.... he'll be in Houston by then, so Stern won't protect him...

Just look at this, no way is he not on the roids...

You have never been to Newport have you? Yea, Dwight is leaving Newport for Houston...

[mindcrime]

Not sure if any of them besides jaw(DWade) has or currently uses growth hormone. Dwight looks like he's used roids, big time.

Det pic doesn't do Newport justice IMO. Doesn't really look like Dwight's type anyways:

[Juggity]

D-Wade is ed. You can tell by the decline in his production that he's already stopped using.

[lefty]

oh sure


1 year before he retires



How convenient

[TDMVPDPOY]

I've used PEDs for basketball when I was pursuing it, tbh..you would be naive to believe that the majority of pro athletes haven't used some form of PEDs at every level, tbh..

As for HGH, I don't think they will catch many players that are on it, tbh..

The NFL's potential PED scandal would be much more interesting..

If you know how steroids\HGH work then you know how ridiculously hard it is to get caught using it, especially HGH.

u cant escape it when they keep samples for a few years for the technology to catch up...lose now or lose later doesnt make a difference, when they come chasing after ur fame and glory...then they stripped everything you have achieved, and future sanctions...

[irishock]

Bible already being exposed now that he's playing in the West, and now this

[SpursIndonesia]

while your doing that, post pics of lebron before and after

IIRC, LeBron was already a big kid when entering the league, around 235-240 lbs, basically only adding around 20 lbs to his current playing weight, while turning from a teenager into a man in the process.

Been meaning to tell you your avatar looks like Gabriel Gonzaga...just thought I'd share a cool story with you bro

[HarlemHeat37]

That picture of Howard isn't that bad, tbh..that physique can easily be obtained by a guy with his genes/frame + world-class trainers + supplements + strict dieting and lifting..he's a post player, he can add muscle without worrying about affecting his jump shot..

[Latarian Milton]

if they stop using it right now are they still gonna be tested positive a few months later?

[lefty]

Messi cheatedPERIOD

[Latarian Milton]

messi is a dwarf and he even got treated for his dwarfism as a child tbh
