I also said "to my recollection." As well, I didn't say I knew the exact period of time he used. So for all I know he could have been on till 2004 or whenever.
My point, is that if Tim said he was clean in that pic, I'll believe him. Because he is forthcoming about his past use. But again, just just doesn't broadcast it across the airwaves like many others do. But I don't think he's lying either...
...either way, I'm not staying awake at night if I were to be right or wrong. 
Thanks for the backup YB and Myt1....................
....good looking out!!

I have freely admitted to using gear,being an alcoholic,a drug user......including intravenous drugs,and also have stated that I have /had depression and anxiety issues,all on the web.
People know who I am from the boards.....I`m not an anonymous troll.
If I was on some shit in ythe pic,why would I lie?
That year was my first Masters Nats contest and I had never been so dedicated in my life.
I think Van should get his mind on something or somebody else......he`s getting to be like Matt C. for crist`s sake` !!
Sorry Van,but I will never admit to being on unless I was,and even then,it`s not your business any fucking way.
