Owners adamant on drug testing y NEW YORK (AP)- National Football League owners would refuse to sign a collective bargaining agreement without a provision for drug testing, their chief negotiator saidyesterday. If money and all other areaswere settled and drug testing was the only issue remaining, Jack Donlan was asked, would the owners refuse to sign a new contract? "That's accurate. That's true. That would be a stumbling block," replied the executive director of the NFL Management Council. ED GARVEY, executive director of the NFL Players Association, brushed aside Donlan's com- ment, calling the owners' stand on drug testing "a public relations ploy," and said it would never come, down to being the turning point in achieving a new agreement. The union has strongly opposed drug testing, calling it dehumanizing and an invasion of the players' privacy and has filed unfair labor practice charges against Denver and Miami, two teams which have said they spot-checked players for drugs. "We're not locked into urinalysis as the only solution," Donlan told The Associated Press, "but we don't feel every player with a problem will come in voluntarity until it's too late. We need a detection device to catch the problem so we can begin rehabilitation.. This is not a punitive thing we're doing. It's more a humanitarian thing." "We have the matter before the National Labor Relations Board in terms of what has happened thus far," Garvey told The AP. "We can't comment specifically about what the NLRB might do. But they (the owners) certainly don't have that right (to test players for drugs) right now. "As proof of that, Art Modell (owner of the Cleveland Browns) and Eugene Klein (owner of the San Diego Chargers) are saying they've favored it for five years but that the union has always stopped it. Now they claim they do have the right, and then Donlan just adds fuel to the fire."
