    Gull revelations you know and I know she is a pretty good swimmer. Why does everyone try to pin something on someone without proof positive? How many others are doing unnatural swimming. I can say one of the best broke the law once he must be juiced. He had 5 great swims he must be juiced. I just believe he is a very good swimmer. Could be a paradigm shift in training, but if so few would have the resources that she does to hire the support staff this method seems to require. For the sake of argument, look at GHJ and Neil Walker. Both are world class sprinters in their 30's, neither of whom have ever retired from the sport. They train in different programs (The Race Club and Longhorn Aquatics). Neither made the Olympic team. And neither swam personal bests or set new ARs at the trials. I believe it is more like that she is 1) an anomaly, or 2) juiced.
