I'm at the meet & was surprised that Rob Butcher was there. What a nice guy.
He explained that USMS is connected to FINA & subject to WADA guidelines. So Lance is ineligible.
I was contacted by NY times reporter who saw I was in the 1000 close to Lance's entry time & requested an interview.
I didn't speak to her.
I wish that lance could be allowed to compete like many of the others who testified against him.
It's just masters, who cares.
If we have a say with FINA, I wish we could also influence them to ditch the FINA age rule & go with something more fair, like you have to actually be that age to compete in an age group.
Lance should have been more low key & entered as Ed Armstrong. I heard Once some triathletes & swimmers found out he entered, they launched a flurry of emails to FINA to get them to move against him...
If the NY Times reporter was Karen Crause, you should talk to her. She's a former swimmer from USC whose first piece of writing as a 13 year old inspired Mike Bruner to make the Olympic team in the 200 Fly.
