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.

I expected nothing less. And for the record I hope she never dos fail as it would be a huge black eye for our sport...and hopefully something comes out of it that can help all of us get better.
On the other hand Balco's clear/cream were undetectable and Bonds & Marion stood up and shouted down everyone accusing them until an insider sent in samples that ultimately led to the discovery of these undetectable PED's....they were pretty confident as were all the others involved with that lab.
Look at the Tour de France...as one journalist said after Beltran just tested positive for EPO "you got to be an idiot to be using anything with all the testing going on"....pretty confident guy along with the 20 others who the day before yesterday had samples with problems requiring "B" samples to tested....more positives to come I'm afraid.
Beltran.....yeah he's naively confident, stupid, or maybe desperate. The EPO tests continue to advance so these riders are idiots. The positive tests usually result in a 2 year ban.
One thing that is an issue with TDF drug testing - the testing is done after a stage is completed. TDF cyclists are usually highly dehydrated and their blood chemistry is out of whack, even after re-hydrating. Their chemical markers have to be abnormal throughout the race.
