New York ? NFL commissioner Roger Goodell met Thursday with union chief Gene Upshaw and a group of other league and union officials on a range of issues, including the possibility of expanding testing for performance-enhancing drugs.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said nothing definitive would come out of the session, one of the first formal meetings of its kind since Goodell took over three weeks ago from Paul Tagliabue.

The meeting has been scheduled for a while to work out details of the extension to the labor agreement, arrived at last March in Dallas. Goodell, as the NFL’s chief operating officer under Tagliabue, was the league’s main contact with Upshaw during those negotiations.

But it also includes such subjects as putting a team in Los Angeles – Goodell was the league’s point man on that issue before becoming commissioner – and expanded testing for steroids and other performance-enhancing substances, such as human growth hormone.

“There was a wide-ranging CBA follow-up meeting today involving several people and many issues, including the drug program,” Aiello said in a statement.
