At the U.S. Trials there was one official in every lane looking at the turns, so now that we're in Athens, how does Kitajima get away with that dolphin kick on his turn? It seemed clear to me from the above water shot, then was confirmed with the underwater. Other breaststrokers care to weigh in?

Must be a boring day to discuss swimming on the Canadian MS and English MS discussion forums. Eventually you must get tired of lamenting your own sorry teams and take on the team that really is the best. Then again, Ben Johnson is a national hero still in Canada, correct?
Ben Johnson is still a great shame to Canada, but was only doing exactlly what all the others of his time were doing, only they were not caught. The word was even the American runners were participating in drugs. Carl Lewis however did deny it. Canada has had a bad swim program since the Johnsons' (not Ben Johnson) took over the national plan for Canada. I don't think our swimmers have anything to be ashamed of. They are following the Olympic dream.
