Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot:
If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.

I competed with all kinds of drug users and did not care they are nearly all dead now and never made it past 55 years of age. I do look at the obits. There are a couple still hanging on. One is even 74 but in really bad health.
As I said before I was basically clean. I used 1 steroid pill in 1955 prescribed by a Doctor until I researched what it was. I used Dexadrine in 1963 which was prescribed to me by a Doctor in a couple of races it was legal in those days. I quit using it it made me very angry.
I used large doses of caffien to stay awake. But quit using that after a few races. I used 2 drops of lugols solution of Iodine in my glucose tang drink for energy. They say lugols solution of iodine activates the thyroid and helps with endurence. I used it for a week before two races.
None of these were considered illegal when I raced.
