The decision to make minor league baseball players take an HGH steroid drug test is going to implemented sometime before next season. the first thought of doing this was when a British Rugby Player was tested for steroids and tested positive for HGH. it was the first time someone has ever been publicly identified for testing positive for using the substance and was seen as overdue proof that the blood test, which has been in limited use for six years, actually works. for the past decade the commissioner Bud Selig has been taking steps to reduce the use of performance enhancing drugs. "We are consulting with our experts concerning immediate steps for our minor league drug program and the next steps for out major league drug program," says Bud Selig.

The National Football League also responded to the Rugby player, now they know that the tests are accurate and reliable. unions in both the baseball and football leagues have agreed to endure urine tests for performance enhancer's. they have resisted blood tests and have questioned the reliability for the HGH tests. as a result it remains any one's guess to who is using HGH which improves strength, speed, and quicker recovery.
