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.
Women drink and smoke while they are pregnant and some don't think twice about it.
Both nicotine and alcohol are strongly addictive though. I would think that puts them in a different class than HGH, anabolic steroids and EPO.

I can make you a very nice (180 degree) grande latte, complete with travel cup, using my Isomat Venus espresso machine for less than a quarter. Tips are appreciated.
You obviously aren't factoring in the price of of the machine. But, I guess you need something in the kitchen to match your $350 swim suit.
My grandson came home from school, the teacher told him coffee stunts your growth. I told him to research it, he found out the teacher did not know what he was talking about.
I heard this old saw a lot, too, when I drank coffee as a kid. I really hope it isn't true. I'm about 6'2" now, but maybe I really was supposed to be 7' and missed out on a lucrative NBA career :)
Okay. Was over-thinking things. My gut said the excuse was BS. She's from GA so I was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. Sigh. I'm assuming one can't coast on the aftermath of the juice for years and years. . . :shakeshead:
you can't...when you come off you will lose the benefits...at least with steroids.
Look at the Guvernator. Looks like he lost a lot of the benefit.
Visually think Conan vs Predator/Commando still in shape but a very noticeable difference.
That excuse was a load of crap. But, then, everyone who tests positive has some excuse.

Cripe! To pull a blue muppet, DISCLAIMER: I am by no means an authority on this subject, and I know a lot of women use these for regulatory purposes too, but were I to be a female with a shot at the olympics, any pre-games :banana: hubba:kiss1: hubba:banana: would be out the window. I'd want no chance at taking that risk. No forbidden dance & no pills, or no olympics. I'd take the former. That's just me.
(i'll probably be sorry for barging in on this feminine topic later)
You know, I never understood Angel's excuse of the birth control pill. Was she saying that she was on that and that it read as a false positive? When I look on USA swimming's site, the major birth control pills are listed as legal. Strange.
Was she just looking for an excuse?
I assume quite a few female swimmers are on it and I've never known it to create false test results (meaning doping results - I had several friend get pregnant while on the pill!)
Too many women are on the pill for reasons other than getting pregnant. And, you never know how you will react when you get off it. But, I'm guessing here that it was the only excuse she could come up with. . .
For me, when I went off it, I got extremely fatigued to the point of crashing and this was a few months after going off it. My swimming was :cane::drown: for a while. Now, it's better.
