At the National T&F Championships, they do test for PEDs actually. Everyone who finishes in the top 3 in every age group in every event gets tested and all others (also-rans like me) get randomly tested. They haven't tested me yet. 8) Of course, many older athletes are on all kinds of medications. A recent controversy erupted over a 70 year old guy who was getting testosterone treatments (legitimately for a condition), but they wouldn't let him compete.
A friend of mine tested positive for something and had to forfeit her National age-group 60m hurdling championship and is kicked out of competition for 2 years. She's still my friend but I'm pissed at her (and no I am not naming names here).

No need to name names, but are double letters involved here?
Simple Yes or No would suffice

knew your friend online from another forum, on which she no longer participates
they didn't test on he roads in Tulsa nor as far as I could tell at club xc this fall, but good to hear that they are testing at T&F championships; nor did they test at usa xc masters championships
NYRR does test masters at some events; I raced there last spring but it was probably seen as more of a fun run (no prizes or anything) even though there were 3000 or 4000 runners in it
speaking of which, WMA championships in Toronto next year - I am Loco enough to consider doing the 10000 m.
