80 year old competitive weight lifter labeled a cheat

www.nytimes.com/.../weight-lifter-80-labeled-a-cheat-but-he-has-a-story.html 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.
