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.
No, not what I said....nobody makes you go through life like that! It is your choice how you choose to view things! You can go through life all cynical and pessimistic because a few people cheated....or you can believe in the good of people until they prove otherwise! I choose to look at things optimistically and trust people until they prove otherwise.....makes life pretty good as far as I am concerned!
Otherwise defined as; naive. guess you and geo can go thru life still looking under your pillow for that 25 cents from the tooth fairy.
I completely agree....must be kind of sad to go through life with such a cynical and pessimistic attitude as some others do.
huh? It's sad that the athletes have caused us to take this attitude. It's not like we just happened upon this on our own, get a grip.
I still wish someone would tell us what it takes for her to prove her innocence.
The closest we are likely to come to proof is replication by someone, or enough people, that doping loses it's "only explanation" status. If one or more other swimmers that people trust try Dara's training regimen and make similar improvements then the "no one else has ever done it" argument collapses.
Unfortunately, Dara's background is somewhat hard to duplicate in the short term!
