The FINA rules say no but not considering the rulebook, should Libby Lenton's 52.99 go in the record books. There has been alot of debate on this in the other thread. What do you think?
To all those on the nay side, why???
Fortress I always thought you would be on the swimmer's side. Not on the FINA side.
George:
I voted early and missed most of the ensuing debate. (I was swimming and not reading!) I was under the impression that it was just enforcement of a FINA rule, and, as a lawyer, I tend to be more rule oriented as a matter of fairness and consistency. But then Kirk appears to have pointed out that it might not be a rule violation. If it's not a direct violation of a specific rule and it is ambiguous, that would probably change my view. I'll have to re-read the two threads to see what I missed.
But I really detest Barry Bonds. Many people have testified about his drug use. I don't think there is any ambiguity on that score. He's just not in the slammer yet. I did actually take the time to read the book on Bonds/BALCO awhile ago. I'm a real baseball fan, and he is a disgrace to baseball.
