Lance not allowed to swim in masters competition

actually, they are. please go read 10.10.1 and 10.10.2 from the WADA code. here let me help: stage.wada-ama.org/.../WADA_Anti-Doping_CODE_2009_EN.pdf pages 73 and 74. See, this is the kind of thing I find slightly irksome: Further, an ineligible Athlete may not compete in a non-Signatory professional league (e.g., the National Hockey League, the National Basketball Association, etc.) So even though the NHL and NBA are not signatories of WADA, WADA still feels they can tell athletes they are ineligible to participate in those leagues, as well? We do need organizations such as USADA and WADA, but you know the saying: "absolute power corrupts absolutely."
