72-yr-old Masters World and National Champ Busted - Dude was an all sorts of PEDs!!!

Not surprised a bit but sucks all the same.

I hope he never took a medal away from fisky.

Most likely not from Fisky, but for sure from plenty of others. Bummer.

Many masters athletes are probably unintentionally doping just to maintain quality of life outside of their sporting endeavours.

What did time did he run the 5k in?

He failed the intelligence test, which is all that in-competition testing represents.

For a bust like this, there's a hundred that will go Scot free.

I'm 72 so that is one less competitor for me.

Am I the only person not on drugs?

If he cheated at running I’m sure he cheated in his profession as an Ecologist.

No, you’re not the only one. I don’t drink coffee and think caffeine should be considered a PED.

What do we think, boys? Someone went to the men's clinic to get some topical T and was also taking some GNC grade testo booster plus some male enhancement product but didn't do his homework?

I could run with Qualls when I was into masters running in my mid to late 50s. I was amazed at his performances in recent years, now I know why. Seems like a scumbag thing to do. The behavior that some can justify to themselves. Embarrassing lack of ethics.

The bulging veins in his arms… that doesn’t happen naturally when you’re 70 years old.

No.

I ran that 5K in Atlanta and beat Robert in the age grading (I'm a bit younger) and now know why I haven't received a check from USATF. He ran 19:30, and also set a US record in the road mile last year.

I have been running on the USATF circuit for a decade now (something like 30 races), and it's disappointing to see this. It's a black eye to masters running. It happens for sure, but I don't think it's widespread. I've said that 100 times here, and received many downvotes. But that's my take.

Most of the runners are there for the camaraderie, teams, and just to see what they can do. I'm glad that they are testing and hope that they continue to do so at these events. Out of competition testing would be fine as well, but that might be too expensive. Maybe a dozen or two tests a year of some of the top athletes would be enough of a deterrent.

Douchebag loser.

Guys like him are part of why I don’t run masters.

Loser.

I don't even take supplements except D3/K2 in winter, but then again, I haven't competed in over a decade.

I assume that at least half the masters guys are ok some form of TRT, which is doping in my eyes, as much from trying to cheat a poor lifestyle as competitive ethics.
