Talks Between League, Union Progressing Toward Possible Agreement to Toughen Steroid Program

Representatives of the NFL and its players' union met last week and seem to be progressing toward completing an agreement to toughen the league's steroid-testing program.

Officials on both sides of the discussions said today that no agreement had been completed. But the two sides, officials said, are discussing the possibilities of increasing the number of random tests to which players are subjected and using a more sophisticated test, the carbon isotope ratio test, with greater frequency to identify the presence of synthetic testosterone in a sample obtained via a drug test.
