With the apparent increase in use of supplements as human growth hormone, testosterone, HGH, EPO and IGF-1 in sports (particularly cycling) during the last decade, I wonder if their use has managed to leak over to masters events...... including swimming. Seems silly to me that anyone would use hardcore muscle building agents as these in a setting such as masters so late in life. Is it worth implementing drug testing, or does it really matter in the end....... after all its just masters.

I have had a collectomy in the past. My surgeon, who is a swimmer, said that they only thing taking creatine does is make you go to the restroom. He said that creatine is a great laxative. Anyone who has any troubles with diarrhea, colitis, Crohn's disease or stomach cramps should never take creatine. I've never tried it because the last thing I need to do is go tothe restroom more often.
