Hello forum.
Last monday, a friend of mine, a swimmer who writes on the italian forum, has been squalified for 6 month after a doping control.
Does there in USA exist doping control on master atlethe?
He didn't use epo, he just have a joint after dinner.
What do you think about that?

Thank you.
I hate to differ with aquageek, but technically there is drug testing within USMS. USMS is bound to comply with FINA regulations. This includes drug testing.
As a practical matter, I’m not personally aware of any testing of US Masters Swimmers. But, the actual testing and results are not necessarily a matter of public record, so maybe testing is occurring at the Masters level.
