NBA deal includes offseason drug testing plans
Posted Byi steroids
For the first time, NBA players have agreed to offseason testing for performance enhancing drugs as part of the new labor deal that is being balloted.
The NBA previously did not test players during its July-September offseason.
From Guardian.co.uk:
The memo was less clear about testing for human growth hormone, saying only that a committee would study the “possibility of an HGH testing program.” NBA spokesman Mike Bass, however, insisted that both sides agreed to HGH blood testing, subject to the process being validated by a “neutral committee of experts.” It wasn’t immediately clear who would be on that panel.
Major League Baseball and its players recently agreed to start HGH testing in spring training. The National Football League‘s new labor contract also included a provision for HGH testing as soon as this season but only once the players’ union approves the process. That hasn’t happened, in part because the union says it needs more information about the test.
Beginning in the 2012-13 season, players can be tested up to two times during the offseason for steroids and performance enhancing drugs according to the memo.
