WMA proposal mandates drug-testing of USA masters

This week's Sign of the Apocalypse:

Among other things, a policy under consideration by World Masters Athletics would give WMA the right to order out-of-competition surprise drug-testing of all masters athletes in the world. :roll:

Bad enough is a provision that would force all member nations of WMA to conduct drug-testing at their national championships.

And if the affiliates refused? They'd get kicked out of WMA and their athletes would be barred from competing in WMA world and regional championships.

Here's a direct link to the 40-page WMA anti-doping proposal, which the WMA Council endorses and will be voted on at the Lahti General Assembly on August 5, 2009:

One of these Objects is to promote fair play in sport, in particular, to play a leading role in the fight against doping, within Masters Athletics and to develop and maintain programmes of detection, deterrence and education which are aimed at the eradication of the scourge of doping within Masters Athletics.

There is a "scourge of doping" in Masters? :roll:
