The above question is causing a delay in the implementation of the NFL's program of testing for HGH in NFL players. The NFLPA is asking for more data from the athletes who were originally used to set thresholds for what constitutes a positive test for HGH. The NFLPA is looking to compare data from a study of football players, to find out if football players have a higher level of HGH than athletes in other sports. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello expresed displeasure with the union's failure to get the testing program started. But you can hardly blame the NFLPA for looking out for its players, as the NFLPA becomes the first American professional sport to test for HGH.*

*Major League Baseball has a HGH testing program, however it is for minor league players.

The NBA could also sell the rights to the talks, thus bringing in revenue at a time when no revenue is coming into the league.
