At least this isn't a problem in USMS, right? velonews.competitor.com/.../totally-amateur_408457

  • Given that USMS cares about the health and safety of its members and is committed to preserving the integrity of the sport of swimming, the use of performance enhancing drugs and supplements as defined by WADA, unless prescribed by a licensed physician, is strictly prohibited. Violations may result in permanent suspension from future competition. Sounds good to me,but as a position statement only, it is like posting speed limits but not ticketing speeders. Given the level of concern about testing, a position statement(without testing) is a good start.
