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.

    Ken, Certainly, my opinion is no more valuable than anyone else's on the subjec as no one knows for sure. One can not deny the fact that drug testing simply does not catch all the cheaters these days. Test a 100 or a 1,000 times over. It doesn't matter if you're testing is inadequate or you're not testing for the right things. Marion said for years she never did drugs and was never caught. She and Balco have changed my opinion on certain elite level sport performances forever. Again, I just don't see it as a positive having a middle aged woman represent US women's swimming in the Games. I find it somewhat embarassing to our sport. John Smith
