Players of the NFL mistrust methods used by the WADA. Why did the mistrust appear? Let try to find out the reason.
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) decided to test players of the National Football League for HGH. Althogh the NFL Players’ Association has agreed, several skeptic thoughts linked with the level of trustworthiness of blood test for HGH were expressed. This test is going to be just a part of the testing for anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing substances.
Some scientists that are not connected with the WADA activity directly don’t agree with the methods utilized by this agency. They support the skepticism of the NFL players.
Matt Chaney, a main chronicler of steroids use in American football, assures that the NFL players mistrust the WADA anti-doping tests not without any reason. Skepticism of the players is justified by Matt Chaney.
Don Catlin, the director of Anti-Doping Research, confirms that methods of the WADA for detection of HGH have to be transparent. The WADA uses the HGH isoform ratio test introduced by Christian Strasburger.
It is necessary to mention that according to certain specialists, the method of this test doesn’t have scientific basis. It is not trustworthy. The Director of Anti-Doping Research notes that this test is not useful for detection of HGH at all.
There is another test which can be applied by the WADA to detect athletes that take HGH. Sonksen elaborated a certain HGH testing method that is based on physiological biomarkers. But the WADA doesn’t utilize this method to determine consumers of HGH.
According to Sonksen, workers of the WADA are not specialists in this area. That’s why they do not understand the priority of one method over the other. But as it was proved by scientists, the HGH biomarker test is more useful than HGH isoform test.
Although scientists confirm about difference between these two tests, the WADA doesn’t desire to apply the other method.
