Kevin Mawae, the president of the NFL Players Association, told The Associated Press on Sunday that the union is aware of developing tests, one of which is a blood test that could detect HGH for up to 14 days. But he said the union believes the test that is currently available, which has only about a 48-hour window of detection, "is not completely reliable."

"The testing of HGH is a CBA [collective bargaining agreement] issue that has been discussed on a number of different occasions," Mawae said in an e-mail to The AP. "The PA and the players of the NFL will always be in favor of fair and competitive play without the use of performance-enhancing drugs."

The current collective bargaining agreement expires in March, which could lead to a work stoppage during the 2011 season. While the key issues are expected to revolve around finances -- the future of the salary cap and free agency -- there are signs that the future of drug testing will be an issue.
