Major League Basketball has dominated the news lately with its most frequent suspension for their drug policy. The NBA is currently figuring out the best way to implement HGH testing and recently future NBA Commissioner Adam Silver spoke of the NBA's efforts.
“One of the changes that we know we’ll be making to our current drug testing is the addition of HGH testing, which requires taking blood from the players,” Adam Silver said. “We want to make sure, on behalf of our players, as well, that’s it’s done in the proper way, and that we understand what are the appropriate baselines for a natural substance, like HGH, so we can detect where there are aberrations. That is something we’re very focused on.”
“We’ve been actively working to understand the situation and to the extent possible to learn what is being uncovered by MLB’s investigation,” he said. “We are not aware of any involvement by NBA players.”
“It’s why, even in the collective bargaining agreement, this was not a point of contention,” he said. “Both for the player representatives and the owners who participated, this is an issue where it is in everybody’s interest to have state-of-the-art drug testing, and to have a level playing field for all players, because we recognize it’s not fair for a player to believe that in order to compete, and in order to keep his job, he has to do something that one could potentially harm his body and number two could potentially get him in trouble.”
