Better late then never, Roids testing to ban from Pro Bowl
Players who fail the NFL's substance abuse policy next season likely will be banned from playing in the 2008 Pro Bowl.
Sources tell ESPN's Chris Mortensen that commissioner Roger Goodell and NFL Players Association executive director Gene Upshaw have agreed to ban any player who tests positive for performance-enhancing drugs from playing in the Pro Bowl that same season. The policy would take effect beginning with the 2007 regular season.
A ban also would have financial implications for some players, because some have Pro Bowl bonuses and base-pay escalators tied to the Pro Bowl that would be negatively affected.

Finally. I said this about Merriman, and I will say it again. Anyone who tests positive should not be allowed to be in the pro bowl. If you're trying to crack down, I think taking away Pro Bowl elections is a key thing to do.
