Who would be opposed to drug testing in Masters Swimming? What would be the cost to implement such a program to test winners at US Masters Nationals? and finally, What drugs do you think would potentially be found?..... HGH?.... Testosterone?..... THG?....... IGF-1?..... designer steroids?

  • First Masters swimming is vitaly important to me. Second,there are at least 2 swimmers I am pretty sure have used preformance enhancing drugs. If there were a cheap effective way to test I'd be for it as I am totally against any cheating. That said,I doubt there is a fair testing system given all the medications we need to take to as we age. I figure the unethical drugs are all bad for you in the long run and that Masters Swimming is about the long run. If you can't beat them out live them.
