Armstrong and USMS - Swimming world article

www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/.../33152.asp Article written by P. Whitten. I did not know that USMS does not belong to USADA. Rumor mill speculates that a percentage (small? large?) of masters records (FINA, USMS) were set by athletes on performance enhancing drugs (PEDs).

  • Dude, that's a way too harsh of a comment. I (and I imagine many other masters swimmers) swim for health, enjoyment, and friendship. Why do you call masters swimming a charade? Is something someone does for health, enjoyment, and friendship a ridiculous charade? Your comment right up there with Schubert calling USMS a "glorified losers round." There's plenty of way worse things that people do with their time and money. Thank you, Ande, for telling Rain Man exactly what I was thinking. Masters swimming has been a life-changing experience for me that has made these past three years so much happier for me. "...health, enjoyment, and friendship." EXACTLY! :applaud::bliss:
