Dara just one the national title in the 100M Freestyle in 54.4 at the ripe old age of 40. Simply Incredible. :applaud: :woot:
If that's not inspiring I don't know what is.
Passage from "Every Second Counts" by Armstrong with Jenkins
When his interview was finished, Johan asked one of the officers why the investigation was taking so long. Johan said, "All the tests have been done, everything has been done, and there is nothing, nothing, nothing."
The police investigator was sympathetic, almost apologetic. He told Johan, "The scientific expert who does the tests thinks he has overlooked something. He says it's not possible that there is nothing."
Johan was incredulous. "What?"
"He says the performance is on such a high level that it's not normal. This guy wants to find something."
So there was our problem. We weren't guilty, but that wasn't necessarily good enough for the French scientist who wanted us to be guilty.
It is human nature to reject anything outside the average as "not normal". But saying that the average person couldn't do it (without drugs/cheating) is not the same as saying it couldn't be done by someone on the freakish side of the range of human ability.
