him taking the DNA test would only establish if he might develop the condition- not that he has it or would necessarialy develop it.

Here is the thing though- if its genetic, then there would be a family history of relatives dying early due to heart failure. I would think most of that info (death certificates, etc) is in the public domain and a private investigator could easily did up the facts, i.e., 2nd cousin on mothers side died, age 29, apparant cause, heart attack. third uncle, died 43, heart attack...

Paxson is now denying (as he must or the Bulls could be sued big time by Curry and the Union) reports that he hired private investigators to check on Curry's family medical history and there is a belief that the Curry already took the DNA test but witheld the results from Paxson.

Really? I'm surprised they could sue. A lot of the info is in the public domain. Unless there was a watergate style break in to check files in a doctors office.

Interesting though. Wonder if he got any info as a result that lead him to lowballing curry.

If you are working right now in an office building go into your breakroom, or the copy room and read that poster concerning the EEOC. Any employer or potential employer must seek permission for a background check for credit, past medical conditions, and felony convictions. In some states it is illegal to even rely on some of the information you acquire in the public domain. That's why the DNA testing is a moot point to the KNicks. Curry is protected under the CBA, so the Union would have the right to sue the Bulls on Curry's behalf in addition, the Bulls would be subject to the Commissioner punishment for the violation. Employers are allowed to request potential employees as well their current employees take a blood test to determine substance abuse. There are exceptions though.
