I do not agree.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/73737?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 17 Sep 2007 09:48:15 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:2d584a65-3c53-4022-975f-d5ca3d5cae86Former MemberIt would be great if it were true, but I think this man is bound to run into physiological and chemical walls that are not capable of being torn down without creating new ones elsewhere. In other words, side effects and unintended cosequences will plague this research. IMHO of course. In the event that I am wrong, heck yeah I will take this therapy! As for USMS age groups, what kind of adjustment could you make? If a 40 year old takes the therapy is he perpetually in the 40-44 age group until he dies? Sounds too complicated. How about an open category where you can use whatever you want? Age defying therapy, testicular shrinking steroid therapy, late bloomer therapy, Red Bull and coffee overdose therapy, you name it...it&#39;s legal here. That would be fun to watch and might even bring more people to the sport. Shoot, you might even see a USMS event on TV once or twice.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
