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?
No, what I meant is my opinion on drug testing might change if I had National or World records.
Oh, sorry, I misread. Didn't seem like you. You don't even take a vitamin.
I know a few people with top ten rankings that weren't stars as kids. (Depends how you define "star," I guess.) They did swim some as kids, but I don't think they competed that much, and definitely not in college. (Muppet comes to mind here.) It does seem that the vast majority of ranked masters swimmers have some AAU/USS background, but not all. The USMS WR holder and the All-American on my team were great college swimmers, but, man, they still work their asses off.
