If I am reading this right, Swiminfo.com is reporting that Craig Stevens is indeed going to back out of the 400 and leave it up to Australia Swimming to "pick another member of the Olympic Team" to swim that race in Athens. If I am ANY other country, swimmer, the 3rd place finisher at the Trials or an organization interested in ethics, then I am raising a stink on this one!!!! Thorpe DQ'd and the Aussies are going to skirt the rule and get him in anyway. They would be relegated to the status of Ben Johnson, Rosie Ruiz, and the 60+% of MLB who are on steriods! This is FREAKIN' UNBELIEVABLE. I have no respect for any of the aforementioned and if this happens, none for Ian Thorpe and the Australian swim federation (or whatever official name they hide behind) are in that seeming, stinking pile.

  • And just what is the matter with living in a swamp?! I'm offended. Wahhhhhhhhhhh :( ( With three kids and now only 1 dog, instead of 3, my house is verging on swamp-like conditions!!! If I shake a bottle of VO2 max shampoo vigorously, and let it explode, will it clean my house??? Someone in another thread was asking about fogged up goggles and someone replied that baby shampoo worked... I suggested that they use VO2 max shampoo and they'd probably have x-ray vision. Could be fun!!
