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?

I don't think I would be surprised to find some Masters "cheating". And it may very well be the ones profiting from their swimming success...
However, I know that most of the people ranking Top 10 World Times, World Records, etc. have an impressive swimming history. Many swam in USS Nationals as kids, made their Olympic Trials cuts, were American Record holders, won NCAA's, etc.
Let's not confuse cheating with talent and hard work.
There must be some late bloomers among the Top Ten that were not stars as kids. (Eek symbol)
