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?

    The actual benefit of hGH in athletes remains controversial. Known side effects include water retention and insulin resistance. Doubtful you'd see classic features of acromegaly develop. Keep in mind there are no large scale studies, for obvious reasons.
