Yeah, but will he wear the star-spangled robe?

From the Arizona Republic: "I am just getting back to training at a competitive level," said (Gary) Hall (Jr.), who stirred up controversy in Athens when he showed up at the starting blocks before his victory in the 50 freestyle in a red, white and blue boxing robe and matching trunks. Hall's father, Dr. Gary Hall, said his son intends to compete at the masters level in the 30- to 34-year-old age group in national championships next month. I'm glad I'm skipping the meet. I might have gone up against him in the 100 free. But I've raced Gary before and I can tell you he is beatable, especially in the 400 fly (we used to do it often in workouts at Texas). I wonder if he'll do the 200 IM and try the back-*** turn. I hope he doesn't get DQ'd again like he did in Indy. Looks like Robert Peel's 50 free record and Rowdy's 100 free record will be erased.
