NFL calls players a bunch of little girls

[Mr. Scot]

Well, not directly, but sort of...

NFL asks: If figure skaters will submit blood tests, why won’t players?

“We’re talking about a tablespoon or so of blood,” Birch said. “If a 13-year-old gymnast or figure skater can handle getting the blood test, I think our players should be able to do so as well.”

probably b/c 2% of the figure skaters dabble in stuff and probably 15-25% of the NFL has dabbled in stuff to some degree at one point.

Is this what's holding up a deal?

If not...Goodell needs to just move on. Union should be behind blood tests anyway.

Mason is bitching because he knows its the last wide spread Enhancement drug out there that isn't tested for.

The other thing is this, in blood testing the markers for anabolic steroids is up to 5 years so even though they passed a piss test, former use can show up on blood work. Now granted there has to be an initial caveat that if they passed a previous piss test that the NFL can't go back and nail them for previous use found in blood tests.

The issue is with blood test there is now no way at all they can get away with PED's. Oh and mason one more thing, if the NFL REALLY wants to be dicks, they can ask for hair follicle testing and work with the USOC or IOC and really bust your balls :-)

Antonio Cromartie fires back...

Cromartie supports HGH testing, questions players who don’t

Bucking the NFLPA* and supporting Commissioner Roger Goodell, Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie said today that he’s all for testing for human growth hormone.

And in comments that surely won’t endear Cromartie to his fellow players, he suggested that the only players who oppose testing for HGH are the ones who are cheating.

Cromartie weighed in after Ravens receiver Derrick Mason lashed out at NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s insistence on HGH testing. Cromartie took to Twitter and said he’s fine with blood tests for HGH because he has nothing to hide.

“Just was reading an article about HGH testing in the NFL,” Cromartie wrote. “I’m for it. I’m not against it. If you’re against that mean you’re hiding something.” (I’ve lightly edited Cromartie’s tweets for readability.)

Cromartie said he opposes the use of performance-enhancing substances and believes in testing for them.

“I mean you shouldn’t have to cheat to get an edge, just go out and play ball,” Cromartie wrote. “God created us all differently so use the talents he blessed us with.”
