Dara Torres-Amazing

Her body reminds me of nearly every female swimmer on the Canadian swim team in 1956. There was one that was a little chubbier. Only difference is DT is prettier. Back Row L to Rt - Tommy Walker coach, Bill Slater, 400 & 1500 free, Lenora all backstoke, Sara Barber 14 year Backstroke, Helen Hunt fly and free, Bill Patrick diving, George Park - me. Front Row l to Rt - Beth Whittle fly & free, Virginia Grant free, Paul Hauch manager, Irene MacDonald diver, Gladice Priestly free and breaststroke. Man you gotta dig them hats!

Fort - An awful lot are not skeptical. But maybe they will change their views to skeptical. Stud they did not have to swim in them thank goodness.

Sheesh. This is simply not accurate in this case. Expressing skepticism is not a false statement for defamation purposes. It's just an opinion. Moreover, Dara is a public figure. For her to sue for defamation, she would have to prove by clear and convincing evidence that a forum poster made false statements with actual malice. Very tough standard. None of that has occurred here. Get your law right. :shakeshead: OK settle down Judge Judy...:lmao:

Fort have you read all the evidence, I think there are a few here that could be intouble. Do you think someone should record all of these statements before they get edited???? Sheesh.

I see both sides of this argument. For now I'll just view it as something phenomenal occurring and wait it out. I don't think you will persuade opposing viewpoints to see it your way. Half full/Half empty,yadda, energizer bunny etc. See you in another 42 pages!

Fort do you think all the accussers have more knowledge about the use of these illegal products through self use than I do. Please don't get me wrong I am not saying anyone (I am not going to mention names) uses them.

Yes I was a cop. Now everyone who has a faster time this year than they had last year and over forty has to be tested. Hey lets go down to fourteen, everyone who has a faster time after age fourteen has to be tested. It must be proof postive the faster you swim proves drug use???

YEEEESSSSIIIIRRR! Must be beyond the legal limit of caffeine. :) George, stop being silly. Thanks Fort you reminded me I have to put the coffee on.:coffee::coffee:

If they bring that rule in for us we will all be in trouble. Me for sure, that is why I changed my avatar, no more boozing evidence, I take 4 different kinds of medication. The only thing they would not get me for is smoking. When I was ten my mother caught my brother smoking and that was the last time I had a smoke. Um, if you are over 14, or over 12 or whatever and compete in certain meets you are tested. Heck, my 8 year old had to sign a "no alcohol, no tobacco, no drugs" agreement for her year round team, although I did forge her name.
