November 21, 2011
Will MLB have HGH testing before the NFL?
Major League Baseball's new CBA will include testing for HGH according to the New York Times. Baseball has had testing for HGH in the minor leagues since 2010, but could not unilaterally impose HGH testing on a major league players. Now, with union approval baseball will become the first professional sport in the United States to have HGH testing. The NFL was on course to be the first North American sports league to have HGH testing, however the NFLPA has become hesitant to start the program fearing a lack of data could produce problems with the program.

Noah's claims have been condemned by David Douillet the French Minister for Sports as irresponsible.
