An HGH Blood Test In 2008?
Major League Baseball wants to do it, but the players union would have to okay it first. I am sure there are many players who will be (secretly) vehemently against an HGH-testing policy. But the union is going to have a hard time saying "no" to this one, then looking fans and the commissioner in the eye and saying, "yes, we agree performance enhancing drugs are a big problem in the sport and we're willing to work toward finding a solution."
The sad part is, some guy is in a lab right now working on the next undetectable thing. But if they do adopt this policy, at least nobody can accuse MLB of being complicit in the problem any more. Let's not forget about their beefed-up, then re-beefed-up steroids policy.
I was the 1412th pick of the 2002 MLB Amateur Draft, and wrote a book about my experiences in pro ball, called "What Day Is Today?" It is available on Amazon.com. Now, I am a television news anchor and reporter.

Something needs to be if only so that I can go back to enjoying a great season without wondering if it's the result of PED's.
