FIBA Officially Added HGH Testing

[Euroleague]

FIBA officially announced HGH testing:

http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fc/news/presRele/p/newsid/70551/presReleArti.html

- The Central Board reviewed FIBA's anti-doping policy and decided to introduce blood tests for Human Growth Hormones (hGH) in all of FIBA's main competitions, starting with the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain and expanding to all continents as of 2015.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

However, of course, they made no mention of whether or not Team USA would continue to be tested by the NBA's own labs, without any oversight, and without any accountability, while all other players are tested by independent bodies, as has been the current policy ever since the NBA players started playing in FIBA.

The NBA tests all Team USA players. FIBA did not even mention if that was changing or not. Right now the NBA does not even test for HGH.

[oh the horror]

Can't help but wonder if the nba isn't too far behind.

Greek League has been testing for HGH for the last 3 years genius. Euroleague has been testing for it for a long time as well.

The Greek League is very tough on it. Olympiacos (the team Spanoulis plays on) players got tested for HGH 14 times last season, just in the Greek League and several other times from Euroleague.

And they do the bio tests and the players have no warning before a test, they get no warning before a test comes, and the tests are totally random. Each test is of bio markers, blood sample and urine sample.

So yeah, pretty sure it's mainly the NBA players that have to be worried here.

Once again, the NBA tests Team USA players.

Since the NBA does not even test for HGH, this might actually be outside of there legal agreement, and might actually cause a problem for them.

The NBA players might actually have to get tested for real on this one.

Surely someone as quick as Rose and Westbrook combined is using HGH.

They've been in discussions (the NBA and NBPA) since the lockout but neither side seems in a hurry

And who is that?

[RoundMoundOfReb]

And who is that?
Vasillis Spanoulis.

Best player in the world.

McCalebb is every bit as quick as Rose and Westbrook, and every bit as athletic as pre injury Rose. Not Westbrook, but then come on, how many guys in NBA are?.........

Spanoulis is bigger than either of them, and while he isn't as fast as either of them, he's quicker than both of them combined, and from a purely all around athletic level (all aspects of athletic ability) - no one is more athletic than Spanoulis in basketball except LeBron.

So I'm not really sure what your point is..........

Besides, NBA is loaded with less athletic players than those two that do just fine, including point guards.

I hate to break it to you, but if you think guys like Kidd, Rubio and Andre Miller (and several others) are even remotely in the same discussion athletically with McCalebb and Spanoulis - well, then you are a crack head.
