WADA: NBA has anti-doping 'gaps'
The director general of the World Anti-Doping Agency says the NBA's anti-doping program is insufficient.
"They've got gaps in their program, between what they do and what we suggest would be better," David Howman said.
"They know what we would suggest," added Howman, who calls for the NBA to test for human growth hormone, among other things. "And I would just hope that they would be discussing
all of those things rather than just putting them on the side table."

The NBA declined comment.
(The NBA does) not feel they have such an issue as the other major leagues and therefore haven't addressed (doping) in quite the same way. I just think you've got to be very careful when you start saying performance-enhancing drugs are not beneficial in any sport, because you're going to be proven wrong. And you'll be proven wrong when you're not expecting it.
