Report: NFL Could Use WADA For Drug Testing
(AP) -- According to a report by the New York Times, the NFL is considering using the World Anti-Doping Agency to test its players for performance-enhancing drugs.
The Times cited an unidentified NFL official briefed on its planning.
The newspaper reports bringing in WADA could eventually lead to players being blood tested for human growth hormone for the first time.
The NFL and players are locked in a labor battle that has gone to the courts. The owners are currently locking out the players, who have dissolved their union and sued the owners in federal court.
