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.

155,000 Americans are diagnosed with Age Related Macular Degeneration, a potentially blinding condition, every year. In a subgroup analysis from the WHI clinical trial of hormone therapy that is looking at the long term effects of Estrogen and Progestin replacement therapy in 4,262 women 65 and older.
They found that in women, the combo of Estrogen plus Progestin was associated with a reduced risk of both dry and wet Age related macular degeneration.
This is very interesting. MD is one of the leading causes of late-life blindness. Most people aren't even aware of it. It is very important, especially for people with diabeties, colitis, Crohn's disease, and high blood pressure, for people to get screen by an Opthomologist(sp?).
