It'll them up partner.
People here will start to wonder:"what's going on with the King"
Heard the NBA was going to start to test for HGH this season, wonder what that does for Kirby, Lebron????

They'll find a way to beat it, although we should see some slip up. Tons of boxers are on that stuff and they get tested randomly, they hire pros to help them appear clean on the tests.
Guys like Wade have to be covered up. Otherwise the league goes into the sink.
League policy for testing right now is so lax, nobody's ever going to get caught unless they're a complete bonehead. in testing once a year and giving players a heads up WAY ahead of time so they have plenty of time to flush everything out of their system.
So what's this do for LeBron and company? Nothing, because the NBA isn't serious about abolishing drug use since most their most marketable players are probably on it if not all of them. I don't think they'd cover it up if a guy tested positive, but I don't see them seriously going after any marquee guys, especially if they play for LA, Miami, NY, or Boston.
If Lebron would test positive the league would never allow it's golden boy the shame he deserves.
All players are subject to four (4) random tests each season (from October 1 to June 30). All players are also subject to two (2) random tests each off-season (from July 1 to September 30). All such tests are scheduled and conducted by an independent, third-party en y and are without prior notice to the player. The NBA and the NBPA are not involved in the scheduling of any tests or the selection of players for testing.

Good stuff.
The biggest issue with NBA testing is the lack of transparency. While the NBA claims to use a third party to conduct the testing, they don't necessarily want to disclose who this third party is. Furthermore, the third party has to eventually alert the league about any positive tests, and it's up to the league to act on that (the whole thing obviously happening in complete secrecy). There's obviously other issues like microdosing, etc, but if you don't address transparency from the get go, it doesn't matter if you're catching anybody.
Wade, Kobe, possibly Lebron could be in some trouble.
What is so funny?
Hes inferring that they are all on HGH...
So basically nothing will happen..I C
Stern is getting out of the game before the HGH scandal hits.
Wonder which Spurs are using it.
ing Bonner.
Hope Kawhi isn't using it.
Luckily Westbrook has an out.It'll them up partner.

Some players are tested during summers when they play for their NT and I'm quite sure FIBA is testing HGH.
The new CBA has made a small step in the right direction regarding anti-doping but the NBA has still a long long way to go.
Maybe restore LeBron's hairline?
Yep, especially since they won the last two les. The NBA would be damaged a lot more than other sports if their top guys got rolled for PEDs because only 5 dudes play at once, as opposed to 9 at once in baseball and 11 at once in football. Rotations of 8-10 dudes per team in NBA vs ones typically of about 22 in baseball and 30 or so in football.
Any stars getting rolled in NBA is almost equal to 2-3 guys getting rolled in another sport. People are definitely using. . .let's see if anyone gets caught this time.
Good. New policy for in once. NBA anti-PED policy before was worse than trash.
I've been saying this for a while now but I truly believe the NBA wouldn't allow Lebron's tests, even if they come back positive, to hit the streets. The Golden Child can't be touched....
Lebron and Howard have been much larger than their peers since they were in HS. If they are on HGH they would have started taking it in their teens which is possible but unlikely.
Wade is the only obvious offender.
