U.S. Masters Swimming isn’t under the drug testing umbrella of the U.S. Anti Doping Agency, which gave Armstrong a lifetime ban from competition.
Rob Butcher, the executive director of masters swimming, told the American-Statesman that no one has filed a grievance objecting to Armstrong competing.
“The purpose of our organization is to encourage adults to swim,” Butcher said.
The organization currently has members from age 18 to 104. Masters swimming does not drug test. There is a code of conduct the swimmers must follow, but it pertains to that particular sport.
Armstrong, 41, has entered the meet’s two longest races _ the 500- and 1,650-yard freestyles. His times are seeded third in both events. He could not be reached for comment. Armstrong began his competitive life as a swimmer near Dallas, before he began participating in triathlons and cycling.
