ITF may review doping rules, and possible tests for HGH.

The main reason Wayne Odesnik is still allowed to play even though he has pleaded guilty to having HGH in his posession is that the ITF's rule is that they can only suspend someone if they have an illegal substance in their system, not if they have it in their possession.

ITF anti-doping manager Stuart Miller had this to say about the ITF's rule on the matter:  "Our rules say if, and only if, we detect a prohibited substance in a sample provided by a player will we impose a provisional suspension," Miller said. "Clearly, there's a need to review that rule and there is no doubt that that will happen. I'm not going hide or run away from that, because clearly it is something that we need to look at."

Miller also admitted that the ITF currently does not test for HGH, and that it may do so if a reliable test is found.

Well lets hope so.  Tennis is one that prides itself on being clean, and also boasts some of the most strict penalties if a player has tested positive for illegal drugs.  On a first offense you are looking at 2 years away from the game.  Which in all reality is close to a death sentence.  Not too many players are in the game for a long period of time, especially on the womens side where 25 is the equivalent to being a old geezer.  The ITF needs to find a test and get rid of the trash that take performance enhancing drugs.  Don't let the game become tainted like Major League Baseball, Stu.
