Upshaw's Opposition to Blood Testing for HGH

[Daseal]

Find a reliable test, and even if it's blood I bet the NFLPA goes along with it. Their biggest concern probably comes with false positives.

I hear Upshaw's claim that the tests are unreliable. The problem is that I hear that the tests are reliable from others. I could be wrong, but I seem to recall hearing that the Olympics uses such tests.

As for the invasiveness of the procedure, I understand that gripe, but these are football players. If they can't take needles they are probably in the wrong business (think how many IVs they need for fluids or needles they need for meds).
