HGH and Urine

The scientist tasked with figuring out a reliable test for the presence of HGH in your average, say, major league baseball player (or NFL player) now says he is pretty sure a reliable urine test that catches your average HGH cheater (Gary Mathews Jr., Jerry Hairston Jr., John Rocker, Jose Canseco, David Bell, and, I am sure, others) is not going to be possible.
What would be effective for catching the HGH cheats? A blood test. Something the MLB player’s association has previously been vehemently opposed to. It appears, with respect to the players’ lip service to cleaning up the game (and ownership’s lip service re: same), we are about to come to a rubber meets road moment.
