When the current collective bargaining agreement was struck between the NBA and the NBA Player’s Association in 2011, one provision required that an HGH blood testing program be implemented at some point during the course of the contract. Today, the NBA announced that both sides have agreed on the parameters of that program, and will be implemented at the start of next season.

The NBA rarely pops players for performance enhancing drugs, and the recreational drug testing program is widely viewed as a complete joke, so it remains to be seen how effective this testing schedule will be.
