From age 35 to age 38 I was on an incredible anti-aging program with the Cenegenics Medical Institute in Las Vegas. I was unable to afford Hgh, but I was on Testosterone Cypionate. It most definitely had an impact on my strength, but was never prescribed in doses that exceed what is considered normal in a male human being in his 20s. Nor was I prescribed my much desired and requested Deca-durabolin. :( In the end, I was a 37 yr old with 20 yr old testosterone levels which I am sure would be considered a legal genetic gift in an olympic drug test.
My concern is that it is a shame that athletes can't say "Yes, I am on a hormone replacement therapy program, I love it, and if you are over 25 you should look into it too!" I think the athletes justifiably fear that making such a statement will only cause the media to blow it out of proportion and label it as doping. Ah well, at least inspired fans will increase their belief in their own abilities and go after their dreams. Will they succeed? In my opinion, you succeed the minute get up off the couch and take a single step toward a dream. What do you think about all this? Is it fair to the younger athletes? Is it ethical to say "I'm not taking anything" to fans? What a tough position to be in for an athlete especially since the general population thinks doping instantly makes a super athlete vs an indescribable amount of heart and hard work. If while I was on Cypionate I had competed in anything, it would have only put my on a level playing field hormonally. That wouldn't have even guaranteed me a winning streak in my hometown.

if masters drug tested you probably would have tested positive
for an anabolic steriod
Don't athletic drug tests solely detect the use of anabolics and Hgh via elevated levels? Are there chemical flags in injectable anabolics and Hgh? Wow, if so, that raises other questions such as "How long until those flags are out of an athlete's system after discontinuation due to an upcoming event?" "Is poor timing of discontinuation the reason some athletes are busted at event time?" "Is anti-aging medicine from a licensed physician who is following FDA guidelines considered doping in USMS, FINA, the collegiate level, or the Olympics?" "What if, like me, you lost a testicle to cancer and am using the hormone replacement to compensate for the lost testicle?"
