Since I am in the Dixie Zone, I was perusing the results of meets this weekend and saw that Dara Torres, who turned 40 on Sunday, went 21.91 in the 50 free and 48.34 in the 100 free this weekend in St. Petersburg this past weekend. I guess that she is serious about this comeback. It will be interesting to see how she can do long course.
Since I was at Y Nationals, I looked up results to see how she would have done against the men. There was one 31 yo who was faster in both the 50 and 100 and a 45 yo who was faster in the 100 by a small amount. Pretty incredible.

Masters swimming doesn't drug test and that is a fact. If she swims in USS meets she is subject to random drug testing. She can do anything she wants right now since she is off the radar. Does this ability of hers to swim a personal best in Feb 07 and then knock almost a half second off her time seem unnatural to anyone but me? How is she defying that natural aging process that the rest of us can't seen to win. Urine tests detect so little these days - How about lie detector tests for athletes?
Do you HGH????
