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?

  • Jim Clemmons, do you get good results swimming with iboprofen? Reason I'm asking, one time many years ago I woke up with a knocker of a headache, who knows why. I took 2 ibuprofen and stumbled across the college campus to 6:30 am practice. Then proceeded to have one of the worst practices of my life. I was numb. Couldn't sprint. Couldn't do anything. Later I remembered the ibuprofen and realized it dulled my nervous system. Since then as a rule I will not take anything prior to swimming, no matter how much pain I'm in. Sprained ankle, sore knee, whatever... I save the ibuprofen until after swimming.
