Leaving his hair grey helps with the association of their products/services with age. I don't think they are targeting 30-somethings. More like 50-somethings and older.
I can think of very few 70-somethings that are willing to do this.
I do know a few 70-somethings that do very well "naturally".
I still think he should color his hair! :D

I'm sure there are some masters swimmers who are juicing, but I don't know of any.
If you want to see a "poster movie" for the use of HGH and other enhancers, watch the trailer for the upcoming flick "The Expendables" featuring a whole host of 1980's action stars.
I havn't been 71, or any other age close to it yet - so its hard for me to be the judge of this man from my perspective in my 20's. Though I might not be quite as chipper as I was at 16 or 18, I have not experieced the natural decline of the aging process.
That being said, all these products have a high degree of risk associated with them. The old debate of quality versus quantity of life comes to mind. Does the short term feeling of youth outweigh the risks for a man who is already over 70?
He shouldn't be able to compete in swimming events because he is using performance enhancing drugs (despite being prescribed medically) for non-medical, performance enhanced purposes.
Cheater
Get over it. Tons of masters swimmers use anabolic steroids, and they're not harming anyone by doing it.
Sure they are,if they set a WR or get an AA or even a TT they are hurting the non-cheater that they beat.
