    They both are, depending on their attitude du jour. You truly are queen of the one liners of late... ;) Seriously, I wouldn't want testing because there could be rare reasons fro using PED's. Recovery from an illness or infection, or other medical neccessities. It wouldn't be fair to exlcude folks or make them go through hoops to satisfy a handful of other masters that eally give a hoot about the issue (within masters). At the end of the day, if you're using PED's to get ahead in masters, you're only cheating yourself and playing with your health, which is more disturbing since most masters pride themselves on being realtively fit and healthy compared to the average person..
