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.

The Soviet states used to do exactly that. Their breaststrokers would place in the top 5 of one Olympics, have a baby, and come back with a Gold medal!!!!!!!
A college teammate from Germany told me that their National Women's Team used to do such a thing. They would get pregnant (by their coaches, of course!) and then abort back in the..80's?. :eek:
Terrible, but needless to say, the coaches were taken care of.
