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?
The post about this topic has been censured in Itlay.
Thank you.
Emmett asked for chapter and verse, so here it is:
FINA Constitution:
C 7.2 The constitution and rules of a Member must not be in conflict with those of FINA. Where there is a conflict, FINA Rules shall prevail.
And
DC 14.1 All Member Federations shall comply with these Anti-Doping Rules...
USMS is a member of FINA and as such is bound by C.7.2. and DC 14.1.
With that said, I agree with Skip “at this time USMS does not foresee any drug testing with any swimmers”.
