  • Is there a list of banned substances for Masters Swimming? If not how do we have a rule against banned substances? Also, if they don't test, how can it be illegal.The rules and list of banned substances can be found on the FINA web site www.FINA.org . The USMS rule book does not have specific reference to doping control and banned substances; however as members of FINA we are bound by FINA rules. And just because they don’t test Masters does not make it legal. Similarly, when the police are not out patrolling a street, it is still illegal to drive 120 in a 30 MPH zone.
