Hat tip to Burlingame Aquatic Club Master's coach Cory Ferrara who clued me into this announcement on Swimming World that the new documentary about the 1976 USA Women swimming against the PED-laced East German team in the Montreal Olympics, The Last Gold (www.thelastgold.com) will be shown on Monday, August 1st on NBC Sports Network - www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/.../.
I watched it and it was very good. I guess as swimmers we see this as a great theft of our swimmers efforts and loss of much earned medals that they did not receive. I found it interesting that some of the ,then kids, now adults, were remorseful for what happened to others even though the coaches and "doctors are the ones that did this without the kids knowledge.
