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.

A U.S. Anti-Doping Agency official hailed his guilty plea on distribution charges in April as a step toward "breaking the hold that steroids have on sport."
If anyone believe that, they probably believe that we are winning the other war on drugs, too. If the supply dwindles, the drugs become more valuable and the incentive to provide them increases with that value. There are thousands of out-of-work Ph.D. chemists in the former Soviet Bloc who do things like sweep floors to make ends meet. One guess as to how long it will take them and the Russian mob to fill that gap.
