Dara Torres-Amazing

Just checked the poll results. There were indeed 7 people who voted to say that Dara is in fact dirty. Interestingly enough, Paul's brother was one of them. Stud, nothing wrong with a maybe. Truth be told, nothing wrong with a yes. After all, we are entitled to our own opinions and I can respect that. The problem now is the denial of accusations. My interpretation of you saying "people said" I took it to read as majority...as in survey result. That's my bad...but I wasn't rebuking per se.

Don't worry, Jim. I only found out about ILFs a couple months ago. :doh: But now Quicksilver will have Geek wondering if he can be a DILF if he adds muscle milk to his cocktail. He's got to keep up with Gull's new guns after all ... I can't help but wonder just how enjoyable a sandwich would really be in this situation. I am guessing not very, but not having tried it I could be wrong.

Here's another article on the topic, findarticles.com/.../pg_5 ...And here's an interesting quote from that article: "During the post-Olympic Trials period, Thompson and Torres were taking more than two dozen assorted supplements a day. 'I truly believe they helped me this past year...both physically and mentally," says Torres. "My hormones were lower than most females', so supplements helped me raise them in a legal way.'"

Thinking someone is using drugs is not the same thing as saying they definitely are; it is saying it strikes one as overwhelmingly likely. Some folks need to work on reading comprehension. So in a poll asking if Dara is doping or not, somebody selects yes...what does that mean? Yes means yes last time I checked. It does not mean most likely or possibly, it means yes, or that is correct. Do recall, there was a maybe option to select as well.

Check the poll results in the other thread...people said yes she is dirty. As for the lynch mob, send them over. But tell them to pack a lunch. Matt I dunno. I voted Maybe because there is always the possibility. If there had been a probably not option I would have picked that. There might be a number of Maybe's that didn't want to rule out either. I don't think/want to believe that she's cheating, but I'm not totally naive and the possibility remains unless you can supervise 24/7. I take her at her word and actions with the blood storing.

I saw a lot of "hard" questioning of her performance....I may be wrong however I don't recall anyone coming out and say "she's using drugs".....and I for sure don't recall seeing anyone say that those of you who have defended her say should be hung! But I could be wrong..... Check the poll results in the other thread...people said yes she is dirty. As for the lynch mob, send them over. But tell them to pack a lunch.

No one here has come out and accused Dara of cheating Are you sure about that?

*Ahem* ...back to the thread... $500 per month sounds like an extreme "nutritional supplementation" plan...even if it were 'legal'. A can of Muscle Milk (whey protein) is only a fraction of that amount. "little blue pills" were performance enhancing. At least the two swimming stars from Stanford know what they are doing and openly express their intentions to do so! One could make a case for one being worse that the other Recently, the Stanford (united States) swimmers, Jenny Thompson and Dara Torres, openly revealed their planned consumption of potent cocktails of chemicals with the intention of legally enhancing their performances. An open industry of chemical ("legal") sporting performance enhancement has mushroomed across the Internet. The Stanford swimmers pay $500 per month for their "legal" chemical fixes from "sport nutritionists.">

I wouldn't single out Dara right now. There are quite a number of extraordinary performers out there in swimming right now; it is a sad fact, based on the trends in other sports, that there may well be some use of performance enhancing drugs out there (esp. ones not yet tested for, as well, chemists are now adept at changing the 'signatures' of may drugs, so they elude positive results). Let's just enjoy the performances and if later, we shake our heads in rueful chagrin, at least we had that enjoyment of the moment.
