BTW.
Every High School athlete in Texas is subject to random testing at any time starting next year. Their parents will be notified that they will be tested if chosen, and will have 2 hrs to make it to the school if they choose to be with their child while they are giving samples. They expect to hit about 5% of the athletes. Not enough. But certainly something to think about. They will also target kids who have gained a lot of muscle mass in a short period of time. Strength coaches etc... are required to keep track of the kids. If a coach is known to have any idea that a kid may be involved in the use or selling of a specific group of hormones and they do not report the alleged violation, termination is possible if the player tests positive. Coaches are asked to actively insure the safety of the athletes and seek out suspected problems.
Kind of like we (teachers) already have to do if we have evidence that a kid might be subject to abuse at home.

Yeah the NFL was able to fool everybody into thinking that they were doing something. I would be surprised if 95% of the NFL wasn't taking HGH or something close to it
