An interesting story about an 80 year old competitive weight lifter who was DQ'ed after failing a drug test.
The subject of this story has set masters world records in weight lifting. He was also taking synthetic testosterone that was prescribed by his doctor for over 20 years.
Should this athlete be disqualified and his records struck from the books?
My question: How many athletes in our sport take performance enhancing drugs that are prescribed by a medical doctor (and set masters world records)?
To the best of my knowledge, USMS or FINA does not test masters athletes after record setting performances.
....so let's see. The US Anti Doping Agency, is going to tear this guy apart for a little testerone. The guy loses creditiblity etc. Cheat for life blah, blah, blah.
On the other hand, no disrepect, on Sunday the Emmys are going to praise Corey Monteith for his misreable failure at drug abuse. Shame on testerone. Hooray for Heroin. What a country we live in. Gotta love things like this.
My One-A-Day vitamins with Iron are next on the agenda for the US Anti Doping Agency. Your kids chewables are probably not safe anymore too.
