  • Just to be clear, I copied Gary's post from his Race Club website. You can read the whole discussion here: www.theraceclub.net/.../viewtopic.php Another interesting discussion about the Sports Illustrated gene doping: www.theraceclub.net/.../viewtopic.php sportsillustrated.cnn.com/.../ I'm not sure what to think about Eamon's swim, in general my skepticism over drug use is tied to 2 things; physical transformations that defy logic and athletic perfromances that defy logic...in Eamon's case he certainly has the talent to swim that fast BUT it is a major breakthrough...however there appears to be no change in his physical traits. Like I said, the days of not questioning ANY major athletic performance/breakthrough are and should be gone until some reliable form of testing can be found...which is probably never.
