Hardy tests + on BOTH the A and the B splits! With a medication that is banned in the USA. Her coach had two other swimmers who also tested + and YET, she say, "Oh no, I am innocent!" GIVE ME A SEIOUS BREAK! What the heck do we have legal, controlled testing for unless we believe in it and enforse what the results are? What? We test + and then get the attorneys involved and go to the media and whine and plead this same old BS about--"Oh no, I am innocent." Hardy is guilty and all the testing and evidence points to a young lady who made a BAD choice and decisions that got her BANNED FROM THE OLYMIC GAMES. Hey, look at the Cal Bears swimmers who were SHOCKED when she went pro without so much as ANY advanced hints to her fellow teammates---Yes, It is ok to go pro, but when your TEAM is counting on you and all of a sudden you go pro without any hint your going to do that it gives the impression of deceit. I think she is guilty as charged and should get a life time ban and jail time! Next!

Have you ever heard of a coach who slips stuff into their swimmers, without the swimmers knowing about it. Or tells them that these suppliments are not illegal. I know one who did and so do all (or most) of you. He was barred from coaching in the USA.

That is a serious charge, would love to have you state that to him face to face and see his response.

Sam - Did I accuse anyone of anything. I don't think I did. I am reffering to the fact that anything can happen and it has in the past. I would have to have proof positive to accuse anyone of wrong doing, not like so many others here who accuse without proof positive. Are you implying Salo drugged her without her knowing? That is a serious charge, would love to have you state that to him face to face and see his response.

I gave you lots of stuff but as I said before some people cannot read. I guess if left to a few of you that everyone should get the death penalty, guilty or not. Can we even trust the testers results?? Maybe they brought in the French test team and before many of you said they were wrong when it came down to your favorite cyclists. She must have had something that gave the test results but rather then all the palavor about what she did wrong I would like to hear how it got into her system. So, you still won't validate your assertions which is exactly what you accuse others of. Who,what, when - stop dodging. What do you require as proof if not two positive blood samples? What would be your preferred standard?

It got in her system because she took a banned substance plain and simple and got caught. When you throw out statements like coaches drugging athletes you imply that happens and like it or not you implied Salo could have done that. Again just plain wrong to even insinuate it. If most of us all know who the coach who has done this in the past why not name him? I am so sick and tired in inferences and innuendo on here. If it is in some sort of supplement, then others would have tested positive. That defense holds nothing with me, because she is the only one who showed 2 positive tests.

I read here that two other swimmers of Coach Salo have tested positive also. No I will not name the coach who is barred from coaching in the USA. But others have named him here in the past. Will someone post his name. I am afraid to. You can look his name up here www.timedfinals.com/.../

Gull: You are right--NO CRIME UNDER CURRENT LAW! But, she deprived other swimmers of their right to go to the Olympic Games due to her cheating, no good rotten deception and busting the rules to serve her selfish wishes....and the other swimmers who did not go to China spent YEARS and thousands and thousands of yards busting their back sides to get there--ONLY to be deprived by a cheating PED user! And, I have not mentioned the money the CLEAN swimmers were deprived of from Hardy's cheating. Jail? HECK YES---SHE COST THE INNOCENT A LOT OF MONEY AND THEIR TIME IN THE SUN! I HAVE ZERO SIMPATHETY FOR HARDY OR ANY OTHER KNOWN PED CHEAT! THEY ARE SELF CENTERED, EGO FILLED, GREADEY JERKS!
