  • I thought about this and it occurred to me that I assume few are using steroids just because I don't perceive steroids as prevalent in swimming generally. I mean, have steroids ever been an issue in our sport at the club or college level? I suspected one person in particular of using steroids during my college years, but I do not believe steroid use is widespread in masters swimming. There simply is not a sufficient payoff. Why on earth would you risk the significant health consequences to set masters records? It doesn't make any sense.
