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.
Emmett, you could be and frequently am RIGHT. A couple of years back I was a member of the Planning Commitee of USMS and one of our members wanted to bring attention to the use of drug testing for USMS National Meets. No names or people were mentioned but it was discussed also in the Sports Medicine Committee meeting where Jim Miller MD was Chair of the committee, actually more than a couple of years ago. I remember a report in the House of Delegates saying at this time USMS does not forsee any drug testing with any swimmers at any USMS sanctioned events. Since then it has not come up on any agenda at the USAS convention.
