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.
I know that throwing a discus is different than swimming a 50 or a 100 free, but I found this interesting. Apparently athletes can, and do, retire for extended periods of time and still achieve great things after the age of 40.
Oerter retired from athletics after the 1968 Olympics. He did make an attempt to qualify for the American team in 1980 but he finished fourth. He nonetheless set his overall personal record of 69.46 meters (227'10¾") that year at the age of 43. When filming for a TV segment, he unofficially threw about 245 feet (74.67 meters), which would have set a still-standing world record.
I'm a fan of Jason Whitlock, he's a good writer, insightful and funny. It's obvious George has not read the article or he'd not be taking this strange tenor.
As to breastroker's comment about asthma, I don't believe I've ever heard Torres say she has asthma. I've heard her say she was diagnosed but some breathing condition but don't think she's ever said asthma. Am I wrong on this?

I have heard that she was diagnosed with asthma, but it was second (or third or fourth) hand information for what that's worth.
A little food for thought:
There are masters track and field world records in the over 40 division that would make the 2008 US Olympic team.

The womens 800 pops out. As do Brian Oldfield and Al Oerter. (Yeah, I know what you're gonna say about the weight guys, but their marks are still very impressive!)
... what real thing could she possbily do in your eyes so you can believe she is illegal drug free?
If she posted a workout and nutritional video, it might enlighten us all on how its done.

It is time to brain wash George. He must have to accept everything that is said about Dara as the truth even though it is false.
George Accept!!! George Accept!!! George Accept!!! George Accept!!!
George has been Brain Washed. After he wrote this he had to push the I Submit Button.
Her DVD is going to be released after she wins at the Olympics. $39.95 for each segment.
