Testosterone and fairness

Everyone knows the commercials about “low T” and how men can retain their “vigor” but this also referring to basically a powerful PED. I am 76 and so far my testosterone is normal and I can’t be sure how I’d react if it wasn’t but a friend pointed out a world record holding swimmer who was faster in his 70s than 60s and faster at 75 than 70. My friend said this is very unlikely to be from better training. As I was close to WR times at 75 this is not an academic discussion for me . So what is fair .

  • Agree on times being way faster at older ages than they should be for just intense training. Whether it's hormones in food chain, PEDs, etc, something is going on outside of the pool for sure.

  • See that's "old" school thinking and my mission in life and swimming is to prove this wrong :) ... I take this as a challenge not trying to be saying this doesn't happen and you may be right -- just my view and goals may prove it wrong  - we shall see
