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. So you don't see acromegaly, but you do see tightened faces?! John: Maybe you should go ahead and try HGH instead of caffeine. LOL. Get rid of those squirrel arms. Supposed to be good for sprinters? I think we should give a prize for anyone actually admitting to HGH use here. Yeah, that'll happen. I'm sure everyone has their own suspicions or knowledge. Do people really think WR holders would skip nationals to focus on zones? That's be odd after awhile and create even more suspicion. And, like other cheating athletes, can't they just get off the stuff in time to not test positive? Or does HGH stay in your system a long time?
