The NFL has a HGH problem.
----------
Last week, Upshaw emphatically opposed blood testing of his players for HGH, saying there was no reliable test. What was more shocking, though, was his assertion that even if there was, he would oppose it.
“When you start talking about coming in to take a person's blood, that's different than taking someone's urine,” Upshaw said with somewhat fractured logic. “I know personally I would have a problem with someone coming in and trying to take the players’ blood. I'm not ready to make that leap.”
At around the same time as Upshaw's comments, the NFL issued a statement through league spokesman Greg Aiello reiterating its belief that there is no reliable test yet for HGH.
“We have no current plans to implement blood testing, and we have concerns about the reliability of the blood test that currently exists,” the statement read.
