Dara Torres-Amazing

I have never ever said she is doping. I have said her achievements warrant great scrutiny, as with every single recent notable sports accomplishment. And, that has been the tenor of almost all the skeptics on this forum. That's opposed to those who put their heads in the sand and proclaim her to be their hero. What exactly makes her heroic anyway? She's an unwed mother who has spent $100K on a selfish quest, that doesn't make her heroic, focused and talented yes, but not a hero. Again, your choice of words sinks you. What exactly is "surprising?" If you are caught off-guard by her results, then you too are scratching your head. Oh yeah, it's cause she does a lot of stretching. When you continue to modify how you describe her it becomes extremely hard to follow. Is she an anomaly? Is she surprising? If she and her doctor sugar daddy are on the outs, it might be surprising to hear his comments. So many surprises to ponder. So you resort to saying we have our heads buried in the sand because we believe her? Nice tack away from the real point of this discussion....if I can't prove my point I'll resort to childish name calling...... It sounds like you have more of a morals issue with miss Torres when you spout garbage about her being an unwed mother and not a hero...or is just against women in general? Do you know the circumstances of her life? Passing judgement on someone else is not the way to make a point. And now the Olympics are a "selfish quest?" Or is there some jealousy behind that remark and the fact that you don't have the resources to do what she is doing? And yes it is a little surprising how well she has done, she is doing what nobody has ever done before.....anyone would be a fool not to recognize it as surprising....does that make me automatically think she is cheating? NO!!! Go back and give me some examples of my so called modifications on how I described her!!! I think I have been pretty straight forward on my defense of what she has accomplished. And yes.....for a lot of women and young girls and even a few of us old men... she comes off as being quite a hero....because despite allowing all the testing and putting up with the accusations she still continues to do well! I for one applaud her for this!!!:bow::applaud:
