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.
"Torres must be cheating"
What's really sad...and pathetic is when people respond in this manner..like Jansen and Geo as well...just because some QUESTION an otherworldly performance in sport.
Its a legitimate question given the facts, given the increase in cheating going on all the way down to the junior high level (read about football in TX)...and most importantly that nothing like this has ever been achieved in sport.
You can go ahead and bury your head in the sand and try and convince people that Dara's training is some amazing breakthrough...well here's a wake up call....Mike Bottom & Eddie Reece are a few years ahead of Dara's coach(s)....and GHJ has just as many if not more resources at his disposal than Dara and given his opportunity to make history himself you can rest assured he used all of them...Oh wait, he's never taken 2 x 7 year breaks in his training, hasn't twice radically reinvented his physique...
Believe what ever you want to believe...but don't twist the words of those of us who question
I'm not twisting anybody's words. I did in fact edit my post because I did not mean to call Gull out individually. Just because this has never been done before doesn't, and in my mind shouldn't, mean that she's cheating. It seems to me that you're placing an awful lot of faith in Mike Bottom and Eddie Reece. What if, and this is purely hypothetical, Dara's coach has hit onthe perfect formula for Dara. It is somewhat common I believe for women to get stronger after child birth. The woman that comes to mind is Mary Decker.
There is a difference between questioning and outright accusing. A lot of the posts here are definitely more toward the accusing end of that spectrum.
