even Masters fatties dope?

Maybe you had a problem in reading comprehension. It said that he probably got the positive reading
from taking suppliments and we know that they tested several suppliments and found that drug there
in trace quantities. They can generally tell a user because Norandrosterone is in the body pretty
long term so trace amounts of the stuff generally mean contamination and not use.

There is something to be said about using any "suppliments" I'd agree. If you have a well balanced
diet you don't need any suppliments of any kind. The problem is, how do you know what "well
balanced" is?

I agree with you on this Tom. Today's foods are so modified, fertilizer/chemically enhanced,
genetically tweaked that even if you plan well you have no idea what you are getting. The
"organic" label is a joke. The standard is really weak, and anything that is fertilized with
"organic" material is OK. Doesn't matter that the manure is full of steroids and antibiotics
because they bought it. Same thing with compost. If you can't control the whole chain, organic is
meaningless. Bill C

How about a nice warning, like appears on much of my food:
