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.

    There it is - the victim speech right before our eyes. What exactly could change the fact that her A and B samples were positive, Leonard? What exactly would change the fact that she was on PEDs at Trials? I can think of a couple of scenarios that might benefit her. One would be a chain of custody matter. The other would be some sort of testing equipment malfunction but then you would think that would have impacted multiple athletes. I guess a third would be some sort of malicious sabotage. But, I'm inclined to think that two positive samples is pretty much all you need. BTW - ever notice the first words out of a busted athlete's mouth are "I'm gonna appeal?" If the chain of custody of the samples was broken....the results will be thrown out....that chain has to be proven. If the samples can be found to have been tampered with in any way...results could be thrown out. Being in the military and seeing these things happen before I know it is possible.
