Human Growth Hormone in Football: Differing Perspectives

Editorial:  Why is NFL Union Fighting HGH Testing.  The Editorial Board View.  USA Today.  December 27, 2012.  NFL Players Association:  We Want A Clean Game  by George Atallah.  Opposing View.   USA Today.  December 27, 2012.

The dueling editorials focus on testing for human growth hormone.  The players question the scientific basis for tests used by the World Anti-Doping Agency, stating that they have proposed an alternative approach.  The USA Today Board accuses the players of stalling the implementation of a widely used test, while pointing to the health risks of HGH.
