Performance Enhancing SUpplements

The times and physiques of some of our older swimmers is amazing. After seeing the decline in my own power and strength in the past 10 years, I wonder if Masters has to begin worrying about the use of performance enhancing supplements like HGH. Many masters have the financial resources to afford something like Cenegenics at $30,000 per year to be "young" again. I don't have any clean and simple solutions - just wondering if there are others who are wondering the same thing I am. When Rob Butcher said that masters should keep the tech suits because masters swimmer's muscles "need" the compression, does that open the door to allowing anything else that we "need?" Paul Windrath

    When Rob Butcher said that masters should keep the tech suits because masters swimmer's muscles "need" the compression, does that open the door to allowing anything else that we "need?" Are you suggesting that someone was on the fence about illegal dugs until they read this rather obscure quote? If that is the case then you contributed to the problem by publicizing the obscure quote. Good job. (obviously I am just joking, but come on, this is too much of a stretch!)
