How does David Marsh get all these athletes to join his group, and then they get worse while training with him, while college boys and girls surpass them? How did he get appointed as womens coach for the US team?
I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from the photos. Remember that during the last Olympic build-up Lochte was following an over-the-top dryland strength program with truck tires, etc., that a lot of folks thought might have been detrimental to his performance in the water.
Just from watching him limp off after several of his races at the Trials it sure looked like his groin was bothering him - don't think that had anything to do with making excuses.
In defense of Marsh, one thing you can't coach is age.
