Although I was very impressed with Sabir the swimmer, I was not impressed with Sabir the person. What was up with him flexing his muscles before the 50 FLY? Is this the NFL/ NBA or is this master's swimming? I didn't appreciate the "hey everyone, look at me" attitude. Swim the race, shake hands with your competitors, and be thankful for the gift God has given you. Don't show up your competitor like a Pro Wrestler. I wonder how much muscle flexing Sabir will do before events at the olympic trials! I have much respect for him for his talent and swimming accomplishments. But after his display before the 50 Fly, I have little respect for him as the person.

Well, I couldn't catch up to him in the pool, so I had corner him going up the stairs, when he was least expecting it.

Not only did he tell, he sent us all pictures!:eek:
Nah, not really.:(
Mark, I just sent you a PM on this.
I also want to be clear, my message about being "very" dissapointed in his being banned is in no way a defense of his actions. I never want to see anyone banned, I hope people are strong enough or smart enough to ignore those types of attacks. I can understand and accept that others don't agree, just sharing my opinion.

I'm slightly sorry to have caused this much of a discussion. Only slightly though. Isn't it about time for the yearly discussion of pool termp and noodlers?
You should not be sorry. You have every right to post your opinion. Thats why it's called a discussion forum. We don't all have to agree on every topic. I enjoy hearing different opinions on topics. Often we can learn from each other by hearing different points of view. Please don't hesitate to post your opinion!
Pool temp...now that is something we can all agree on!:D
Swimmer, Paul isn't holding you to a higher standard, just the same one that he, ConnieKat, and others are using. I was going to send you a private message (nothing nasty :) but not really appropriate for this thread), and found out that button was missing.
Connie....good advice....NEVER, EVER get caught in a stairwell with a guy from Vail, Colorado......esp a Masters Swimmer....THE WILD BUNCH IS ALIVE AND WELL....
