Honestly, if the locals dope they will be so amazingly fabulous that they will ditch the amateur scene pretty darn quick. I trust the amateurs to be clean.
I wish this was true.... I don't know about the women's fields (and to tell the truth I don't think I want too....), but apparently a lot of *masters* men dope (they tend to be able to afford it and can't stand to let go of their youth apparently)... We had a guy caught and busted here recently. The best he could ever hope for is a good showing at nationals in the master's fields - which gets you accolades and a medal - really worth it... not...

Not me, I'll probably remain a cat 3 forever - and speaking off I need to get off my butt and ready to train legitimately for it..
