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?"

It's something that should always be on the radar, but obviously there is no testing in place so that's a statement in and of itself. Many of the drugs are ahead of the tests anyways.
You will always wonder, but the odds are so slim. When's the last national level American swimmer that tested positive for something?
