Given all the debate in the other thread about Qatar "buying" up some of the top talent in swimming, my question is how many people feel the USA should do the same?
Hoogie & Thorpe for our 800 free relay?
Schoeman & Hoogie for our 400 free?
How about on the W's side, a couple of th Aussies maybe?
The door has been thrown wide open.........no turning back now. Question is when (not if) other countries follow this same path, which has been my point all along.
As for how will Michael and Amanda feel, I would ask how Lezak, Brunelli, Crocker and Walker will feel if they lose the 400 free relay to Qatar? Not such a long shot if the country keeps throwing cash around and if there are no restrictions on citizenship...........?
So why not have the US do the same? Seems like a good percentage of the people polled on this site don't see any problems training and giving foreign athletes scholorships so lets see if those same people would support this?!
