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.
Or did you just happen to catch our spectacular football season this year?
In that pansy conference? Is it even possible for someone outside the SEC to have a stellar football season?
(Quite convenient to have two alma mater: I can be a Gator during football season and a Tarheel during basketball season. That's gotta be worth a dancing banana.:banana:)
This thread is suprisingly respectful in the replies. Very calm considering the the topic.
I think if we were to state our true feelings it could be considered liable.
Here is my thought and what I believe - Darra does not do anything illegal.
Is there any one else who will tell their true thoughts? I don't mean maybe or I am skeptical or it is possible.
Should I now say because someone hopes Dara is 100% clean???
That
I hope Phelps is clean???
I hope Sullivan is clean???
I think I will say they are all clean!!!
I hope all cheaters are caught.
There's no need to shout at me; I agree with you! :)
PS; that's about the only time I'll give a Cal alum a compliment!! :lolup:I'll consider that a high compliment, Paul! Are you a Stanford alum? Or did you just happen to catch our spectacular football season this year? :eek:

It doesn't sound like something you genuinely question. But it's not an illegitimate question in today's sporting world.
TJ Burke:
No disrespect intended. But what does "belief" have to do with anything?
I've always thought news polls that survey beliefs were worthless. What is the point in polling the public as to whether they believe O.J. was guilty of murder? People's beliefs have nothing to do with the facts of his guilt or innocence. The only thing that matters are the facts.
Are any of us in the position to know the facts about any athlete's performance (except or own)? No. Can we have feelings/questions one way or another without claiming to know? Yes.
More power to Dara. I hope she's 100% clean and that she makes the Olympic team. But that doesn't mean I don't wonder if sports at that level for any athlete is truly clean.
Excellent post Amy!

Fort do you think all the accussers have more knowledge about the use of these illegal products through self use than I do.
Please don't get me wrong I am not saying anyone (I am not going to mention names) uses them.
George...pull one quote off this or any thread where someone "accused" Dara of cheating?
Maybe there are a couple floating out there but the vast majority of us who are skeptical are offended that you are posting such things....a cop should know better.
Read carefully please.....quite a difference between questioning and accusing.
