    Cowboys QB coach Wade Wilson has been suspended 5 games by the league for receiving performance enhancing drugs, which he says were for personal use only....I didnt realize the coaches were subject to the drug policy(it is collectively bargained by a union they arent involved in)....

    How is a drug going to enhance his coaching performance?</p>

    Aside from the linguistic sillyness, I don't think it's going too far. You don't want your position coaches to be pushers, and if Wade Wilson is still 'roiding it up after being retired, I can't imagine his advice to Tony Romo about the benefits of performance-enhancing drudges is very good. </p>

    If a coach has direct access, the thinking is probably that he encourages his players to use them and or supply them.

    I believe we are on the verge of a major drug scandal in the NFL....I think as many as 90% of NFL are on HGH, and although it cant be tested for yet, it can be tracked when aquired, which is how Harrison and Wade have been caught

    If it's in the building, it's possible (maybe even probable) that the the players have access to it. Either you eliminate it entirely, or you allow it unfettered. Otherwise you run the risk of an unfair edge.

    Exactly. Possession w/ internt to distribute is I believe the legal term.</p>

    As I see it, you would almost have totake the extreme hardcore libertarian stance & <u>Let the market dictate</u> both in terms of consumption & the legal repurcussions.</p>

    I read that HGH can be produced naturally within the body.You don't have to be a world class body builder or the like to do it either.Though, I am sure, its easier to ingest it "chemically" for immeadiate results.</p>
