In some big news involving steroid testing and sports, the NFL announced that it would become the first league to test for human growth hormone (HGH). The HGH testing comes as a result of the NFL's new collective bargaining agreement with players, and it subjects them to unannounced tests at any moment.
Anybody who is caught injecting HGH will be suspended for four games - just like those who are caught using steroids. Further punishments beyond first time offenses haven't been discussed, but being caught twice with HGH is likely to draw a season-long suspension.

Moving past the punishments, many people may wonder why sports leagues haven't rolled out HGH tests in the past. Après tout, it seems to be America's second favorite past time to catch pro athletes who are juicing, then lambaste them afterward. And the answer is that HGH tests are a lot harder to prove than steroids because this substance occurs naturally in the body.
toutefois, Olympic officials came up with a somewhat reliable test after the 2004 Athens games, and it's supposed to tell the subtle difference between the body's HGH, and an injected product. Dans tout les cas, it will be interesting to see how the HGH testing matter plays out in the NFL next year, and if anybody gets caught.
