NFL Continues Unreasonable Demands on Players

by James Parks, Aug 26, 2011

The NFL is continuing to make unreasonable demands on players even after agreeing to a new collective bargaining agreement.

Writing in Phanatic Magazine, Matt Chaney says the players were getting railroaded on testing for recombinant human growth hormone or HGH. and they are refusing to go along any more.

For the last seven years, the players have questioned the accuracy and reliability of the HGH test the NFL seeks to implement. Chaney says the tests are part of the “shady dealings” of the quasi-governmental entities World Anti-Doping Agency and its American arm USADA, which are funded by government and sports groups. Chaney says:

WADA-USADA bureaucrats incessantly promote their closed “science” for dubious synthetic GH detection that’s ripped mercilessly by independent experts worldwide.

WADA has refused for years to provide scientific information justifying the reliability of their HGH test (validation studies, population studies, performance testing between labs, etc.),” according to Chaney. And players are fed up.
