NFL may transfer control of its steroid testing program to WADAIf it is determined, that NFL could not run its steroid testing program effectively in cooperation with the player’s union, then it is possible that the league would give control of its steroid -testing program to an outside agency.

It would be a very significant move for the league, considering that it has administered its own testing policy for two decades.

The acknowledgement came after the court rulings on the case of Minnesota Vikings players were released. Courts ruled two issues involving Minnesota workplace laws while rejecting most of the players’ claims.

According to the league’s view, players belonging to different teams are subject to a different set of drug-testing rules depending on which state they play in.

In a telephone interview, Jeff Pash, the league counsel and executive vice president for labor said that their program was fragmented by wide-ranging state laws. If this were the case, then it would be best if they turn to an outside agency such as the World Anti-doping Agency (WADA) to administer their drug-testing program. If there is anything they do not want to do, that is to stop the program because it has been beneficial to everyone.

According to The Washington Post:

The NFL might consider giving control of its steroid-testing program to an outside agency if it determines that it cannot continue to run the program effectively in cooperation with the players’ union, a top league official said Thursday. Such a move would represent a significant shift in policy for a league that has administered its testing policy in conjunction with the union for two decades.
