I recently heard that a woman swimmer, unnamed, on the elite level, has been known to spit in her opponent's lane before a sprint race.
Is this just ill-mannered pscyhing or something more sinister? I read on one of Gary Hall Jr.'s race club blogs that this might be a technique for getting a competitor to test positive for steroids or other drugs.
This has a somewhat Urban Legend quality to it that causes my spider sense to tingle. Nevertheless, I am wondering if the more knowledgable folks on the forum might have an explanation for the strategic use of spittle.
However, I gotta give her props for being herself and not conforming to society's standard for women - heck in terms of looks or mannerisms.
In my mind it has nothing to do with her sex. The problem is she didn't conform to society's standard for how to behave as a human being. I find that kind of behavior appalling whether it's a man, woman or child.
