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.

  • Good Eveing. I am new to this board and from Australia. I have read the posts in here for a few months and have enjoyed them. I am surprised though at the number of people who have suspected Dara of using drugs to achieve her superb results at your recent trials. I thought she was brilliant. I also read an article about her yesterday from time magazine which covers suspicions of drug taking www.time.com/.../0,28804,1819129_1819134_1825304,00.html If she were an Aussie, I think we would be defending her to the hilt and defying anyone who accused her. I hope she does really well at these olympics. She is an inspiration. I completely agree! Its really a shame that she is not receiving more SUPPORT from USMS instead of constant questioning. The woman is my idol.I am a tried and true patriotic American but, I wish our swimmers got the support in the US that theAussies give their swimmers. Dara could be such an asset to Masters Swimming in the US! If we ever had a perfect poster child to endorse us, she is it!
