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.
Lugols solution of Iodine, other name Aquious Iodine, is it banned? We used this to give race horses endurance, a front runner could finish a race after a few weeks of taking 3 drops a day.

Weird. We own a horse stabling operation and the only thing that Lugol's solution is generally used for is either as a disinfectant (but there are better ones) or to treat hyperthyroidism. I suppose that if the horse had a very over-active thyroid, calming it down would help, but as a general endurance builder in a non-hyperthyroid horse, it's a bit hard to see why it would work.

-LBJ I used to train and race standard breed trotters and pacers and Dr Jarvis who wrote Vermont Folklore Medicine suggested feeding race horses with regular feed and adding Pure Apple Cider vinegar, honey and logul's solution of iodine to the diet of race horses (he said) the lugpol's activated the thyroid which he said made front runners able to finish. The apple cider vinegar (as he said) kept calcium in liquid form which helped to eliminate cramping of muscles. I believed him and claimed many an old plug horse that were front runners and could not win races. After feeding them and training them they raced well for me and were claimed from me at a much higher rate than I paid. He also said that long slow work built up the capillary system and too much hard work broke the capillary system down.
After thought do not use Churchill Iodine it could kill you .

Yeah, my first instinct is to say if a masters swimmer wants to dope, let them. If they take it that seriously and are willing to compromise their health, it shouldn't affect me. However, say I just broke a masters world record (not likely!), but got beat out by a doper. I think my attitude would change at that instant.

I thought we were all addicted to VO2Max shampoo?:confused:

I take it that this bet doesn't count the athletes that have been busted these few weeks prior to the games...
