Is Dara Dirty?
That's been the focus of this past weeks heated debate.
It's time for a poll.
Her Nationals victory and "remarkable" comeback from her long retirement has raised more than a few eye brows. Some believe she is, some beleive she isn't.
Some of us are on the fence, conflicted, we're thrilled to see a 40 year old swim that fast, we realize she has more talent than most 40 year olds but to become that great, that fast might be suspect.
What's your opinion?

Borko - give it a rest and get off the high horse. No one has accused her of doping. People are arguing about her achievements at this point in her life. Given the current state of sports, it is certainly expected that this type of discussion would arise. And, to be honest, Torres anticipated it also. Not a single poster has said she is guilty of anything, just honest discourse.
You might recall Floyd Landis a year ago if you want evidence as to why there is skepticism, or Barry Bonds last night, or the entire Tour last month. All of these folks spouted the same stuff you are spouting above, every single one of them.
As to innocent until proven guilty, that is the oldest cliche in the book. That is for criminals, not sports stars and discussions of dopping.
