WHISTLER, British Columbia — On Monday, British rugby player Terry Newton made sports history with the announcement that he had become the first athlete to test positive for human growth hormone. Newton’s positive test came in November, and he has been banned from rugby for two years by the United Kingdom Anti-Doping Agency.

Prior to Newton’s positive test, approximately 900 HGH tests had been conducted over three Olympics — roughly 100 in Turin, 300 in Athens and 500 in Beijing — with no positives. Newton’s result appears to lend some credence to arguments that HGH testing has evolved to the point of being worth conducting. That argument took center stage a little more than two years ago when MLB commissioner Bud Selig told the Congressional Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that he would support testing for HGH in baseball “when a valid, commercially available and practical test for HGH becomes reality, regardless of whether the test is based on blood or urine.”
