Former Bears Coach busted for HGH

Not sure if anyone else caught this, but Wade Wilson was suspended 5 games by the NFL for violating the substance abuse policy regarding HGH. Wilson says the drugs were only for personal use and noen were distributed to Bears players...anyone worried about this?

They are testing coaches?
Seriously, I did not know this.  I know very little, and this was one of the things I didn't know as well.  Do they test the cheerleaders?  Refs?  John Madden?  Chad and Rob from WCG and the Cub Reporter?

I was arrested and convicted of blogging drunk.  Don't let it happen to you.

Testing
That article doesn't say anything about testing.

He got busted buying, not using.  He admitted to the use, but he originally got caught because he bought the HGH.

Actually if I am not mistaken
there was a raid on a pharmacy company and Harrison's and Wilson's names were linked.

Would he be buying for other reasons, then?
Like, not to use them himself but in the possibility that he could provide HGH to players?  I mean, if he's not a player himself, what's the point of suspending coaches for performance-enhancing-type drugs if they're not the performers?  Or is it just a consistency thing?

I'm just a little fuzzy on the NFL's substance abuse policy - I guess I didn't know it extended to coaches.

Right...
... which is why I said he got busted, or at least caught, for buying and not necessarily "using."  

He wasn't caught because of a test.  He was caught because his name was found in an investigation/raid as a buyer.
