If a cheater is versed in the latest in the dark art of doping then there\u2019s little chance of ever testing positive.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/doping-made-easy\/a-18431887\" target=\"_blank\">study publicized by the television station France 2<\/a>, the massive benefits of \u2018micro-dosing\u2019 were laid bare. In a medical trial, eight athletes were injected with EPO, human growth hormones, corticosteroids, and other drugs \u2013 all in tiny doses. While the micro doses left no trace in drug tests, their benefits certainly showed up in performance. One of the runners reported an astonishing drop of 31 seconds in the 3,000 meters \u2013 in under a month of testing and clean results.<\/p>\n<p>It appears it\u2019s not just in the dosage, it\u2019s also when you take these banned substances. Take them at night, before bed, and by the time you wake for morning workout they\u2019ll be out of your system. Officially, the World Anti-Doping Agency can test you in the middle of the night, but they don\u2019t. In fact, it requires \u2018specific justification\u2019 \u2013 ie, they\u2019ll tip you off before they do.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in case you\u2019re reading this and you possess more ambition than integrity, don\u2019t go rushing out just yet to your local GNC and load up with banned over-the-counter concoctions. The study stressed that micro-dosing is not for amateurs. It requires a level of medical expertise, or at least a working knowledge in human performance. In short, you need a doping pro in your corner.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this apparent free pass around drug tests, we continue to hear about athletes testing positive all the time. Particularly in certain countries, like say, Russia\u2026 So, who tests positive these days? Those who do tend to fall into two camps: the inadvertently stupid and the dirty stupid.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty in the prior camp. Those who fail to carefully read the ingredients on a supplement, who may trust a physician they shouldn\u2019t, who take a stimulant while cramming for a midterm. There are many ways that otherwise innocent athletes inadvertently fail drug tests. Despite the inherent stupidity, I have a good deal of empathy for them. I\u2019ve been taking asthma medication since I was 8-years-old and I still remember the panic I felt during tests, making sure my inhalers were documented by my doctor. It\u2019s a terrible terror to fear testing positive when you are clean. It\u2019s up there with being falsely accused of sex crimes. To be lumped in with those you condemn, accused of sins that you\u2019d sooner die than commit? It\u2019s a horror to consider. It\u2019s a stain that can never be scrubbed away, no matter how innocent you may be.<\/p>\n<p>Those poor souls make up a portion of positive drug tests, and it\u2019s brutal.<\/p>\n<p>In the other camp of stupid are those who are truly cheating \u2013 and are not very good at it. They\u2019re akin to dim getaway drivers who also get life when their partners kill someone, or to junkies who steal to feed a habit. They may be criminals, but they\u2019re in the shallow end of the criminal pool. They make up most of our prisons \u2013 and also most of the failed drug tests out there.<\/p>\n<p>For the rest who choose to dope and do it well, the only way they\u2019re getting caught is circumstantial. No one dopes in a vacuum. The drugs have to come from somewhere. They must be administered by someone. There is always a trail, no matter how careful you may be. That\u2019s the way the true cheaters, the champion cheaters, are eventually caught. Sometimes it takes years, after a career has concluded, but few escape for good.<\/p>\n<p>But some do. Maybe you\u2019re tempted? Maybe you found this story while Googling with less than noble motives. If so, maybe micro-dosing is for you. Go ahead and take those banned substances in miniature doses. It will cost you a few bucks, and a bit of medical guidance, but if you\u2019re smart about it you probably won\u2019t get caught. At least not by a drug test.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, here\u2019s one more cost: the price of your soul and dignity as an athlete.<\/p>\n<p><em>The above commentary is the opinion of the author and does not necessarily reflect the views of Swimming World Magazine nor its staff.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Swimming World has consistently asked FINA to find better ways to test athletes to ensure a clean sport.
