    From the NYTimes last November... www.nytimes.com/.../18torres.html Behind my back people on USMS are saying I must be using something,” Torres said. “I know it. I hear it.” She has been tested for performance-enhancing drugs more than half a dozen times this year, and the results have been negative, said Mark Schubert, the national team’s coach and general manager. At Torres’s request, her blood is being drawn regularly so she can be tested for illegal substances like human growth hormone that cannot be detected in urine. “My attitude is, bring it on,” Torres said. “Do what you have to do to prove I’m clean.” So here is an invitation for the naysayers to devise an elaborate scheme to prove her guilty...or clean, as the case may be.
