I think everyone has their suspects and while I'd like a clean sport, I doubt we have the resources (financial or people) to police this.
This paragraph captures the issue perfectly. Personally, I'm of the mindset of the friend ...
... but the realist in me agrees with Walters...
I derive enough satisfaction from training, the act of competition and using my own performances as a yardstick so the fact there are people doping in USMS (or via FINA Masters) doesn't detract from my own satisfaction. If nothing else, given the potential damage the dopers are doing to their bodies longer term, I figure I'll be well-positioned once I hit the 80+ age groups ;)
My sentiments exactly, and I hoping to get some top 10 times when I hit my 80s. :)
