Could this happen on the National team?

[palos]

Miami Heat's Antoine Walker was traded today to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a 5 player deal.  Walker was briefly suspended last year because his body-fat measurement wasn't within team limits, and he arrived for training camp earlier this month not in the shape coach Pat Riley wanted.

Think anybody on the National team would get suspended or not pick for not meetin coach body fat measurement standards? 

Is there such a requirement in the PFL?

If not, should there?

maybe he could keep the players names out of the discussion but reveal what his "Fitness Level" tests are and the stats from them and much more importantly what a player can do to excel at these tests.

In the above video he mentions "fitness level tests"
what if the TTFF were to say that after everyone is given these levels and if after one year, if someone who is chosen to represent TnT were found to be below the standard, that they would not be allowed to continue.

I wouldn't want for them to start checking body fat and what not because not everybody will fall within the ideal range...I look at a man like Tome Huddlestone for instance.  Dunno what he body fat % is, but I bet he pushing the envelope for his height and weight, lol.

As long as man fit and competent on the field I think that's all that matters.  The thing with Walker is that his lack of fitness made him a liability to the team.  Had he been the player they needed (body fat notwithstanding) then there wouldn't ever have been an issue.
