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.

    Here's another article, anyone notice any similarities to ones all ready posted? www.rockymountainnews.com/.../ I know one thing all these articles prove, is that sports writers are not a very original bunch. In fact I watched an ESPN show called E:60 that did a segment on Dara over six weeks ago. They went over her training etc., but then had a little round table of sports journalists and what came out of there archetype minds, the drug question. They barely spent 10 seconds on the extraordinary lengths the Dara is going too regarding the amount and frequency of drug testing. Way beyond the average big sport pro athlete would ever voluntarily commit too. These guys are like political hacks, send out the talking notes (stick to the party line, it has to be dope) . Remember feel goods stories are for Oprah, newspapers dwell on the negative. Sports Writers, are a very cynical group by nature. After writing about the big money sports of NFL, MLB, NBA and NCAA Division One football, I'd be cynical too, why would they think swim culture is any different? And speaking of swim culture, and now my cynicism will show. How many out think these sports journalists actually did any serious research into our world? Yea, that's what I thought too, my last observance, sports writers are lazy.
