As some people maybe aware but I guess more people aren't that doping is being carried out on competitors.
I haven't got a problem with this but you are as a parent or competitor needs to be aware of the medication you are taking or being prescribed by your GP, if you had recent medical/dentist treatment before a race ensure you know what you have been given as it could have serious consequences.

the MSA rules state the following:
Any competitor caught doping can expect the following:
•A ban from ALL sport for a period of time. This includes: Competing, officiating, training and assisting an athlete
•You will be unable to compete in any MSA competitions
•You will not be able to train in an MSA approved centre for example affiliated club, funded gym, funded facility
•You will not be able to receive any sports related funding
•You may lose previous medals, titles and records

the list with banned substances can be found by following this link http://www.wada-ama.org however some are components in medication and is very confusing for example if buy Vicks nasal spray manufactured in the UK you are fine but if you buy one that has been manufactured in the US then you may fail the test as it has a banned component in the spray. It will be interesting to see how many tests they will carry out during the season and what the results will be. unsure if they also test outside competition i.e. someone knocking on your door at 08:00 in the morning demanding to test you :-)
