The argument by Major League Baseball that no reliable test for human growth hormone exists took a major hit Monday.
Both the United Kingdom Anti-Doping agency (UKAD) and the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) trumpeted the positive HGH test of British professional rugby player Terry Newton as "proof positive" that the drug can be detected in blood tests. Newton, who was tested in November, did not contest the result and yesterday was banned from the sport for two years by UKAD. Newton's rugby club, Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, also canceled his contract. Newton is believed to be the first case of a professional athlete testing positive for HGH using a blood sample.
Baseball has banned growth hormone since 2005, but there is still no HGH testing. Travis Tygart, USADA's chief executive, Monday blasted baseball's argument that an effective HGH test is unavailable.
"All of us who have helped develop a test wouldn't put it in place if it wasn't forensically sound and reliable." Tygart told the Daily News. "Particularly in (Newton's) case, it's proof positive the test works."
According to a UKAD spokeswoman, Newton provided a blood sample during the offseason in November. British professional rugby's anti-doping program requires having players submit blood samples during the season and the offseason.
"The way we carry out testing is very much based on target testing, su****ion or intelligence that an athlete might have been taking or abusing substances that they shouldn't be," the spokeswoman said. "One athlete could be tested five times, another athlete might not be tested."
Newton's sample was sent to a World Anti-Doping Agency-accredited laboratory at Kings College in London, the only such WADA-approved facility in England.
"Human growth hormone was found in his sample," the UKAD spokeswoman continued. "(Newton) had the opportunity to go two ways - 'I'm contesting it. I want a "B" sample tested and I want to go to hearing.' Or he could do what he did do, which is say, 'Okay, I'm guilty as charged.' This (HGH) test has been developed over the last few years and the test available to us is very reliable. And we're delighted we've now got the first finding (of a positive HGH test). This should be a warning to other athletes (who) might have thought in the past that HGH was undetectable."
Tygart added that starting in 2000, the USADA, along with the International Olympic Committee and the European Community, began investing in the research and development of an effective HGH test.
Olympic athletes were first tested for HGH at the '04 Athens Games. Baseball did not and has not followed suit. Before Game 2 of last year's World Series, commissioner Bud Selig struck a defiant tone and said the sport is committed to eradicating HGH use.
"We're spending many millions on a test for human growth hormone." said Selig. "We've come a lot farther in the last five years than anybody possibly could have dreamed."
Not far enough for anti-doping experts.
WADA board member Dr. Gary Wadler scoffed at the notion that blood tests are too invasive. "Everybody goes to training camp to get a physical," he said. "Why not have your blood drawn at that time, too? They are big boys."Last edited by el malo; 03-01-2010, 09:18 AM.

I announced earlier that urine tests can detect hgh.
I was wrong.
There is currently no urine tests that can detect hgh, but they are working on it.

I think the whole team should take the test. All this talk about taking tests...i bet that crackhead won't take a drug test if the whole team had to, cause it would become fact and not speculation that he is a crackhead.
