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.

    That statement implies that she is cheating or hiding something from everyone, at least from your point of view. You seemed to have blocked out the possibility that we already know the full truth. Jim, have you blocked out the possibility that we don't? Having turned 50 this year, I want to believe she is clean, that we don't understand the aging process as well as we think we do, that there are exceptions and ways to (legally) circumvent it. I really do. But I live in the real world, a world in which people age and athletes use performance enhancing drugs to achieve many of the headline-grabbing achievements we read about.
