I suggest that we take an unscientific vote on this matter, then table the topic until there is some more definitive news, which may never come, but then again might.
The wisdom of crowds suggests that our completely biased and boneheaded attitudes and beliefs--contradictory as the stew of opinions here is--might well cancel each other out in such a way as to provide a valid collective answer.
Then we can come back in a year, decade, or whenever, and some can yell, "I told you so!" from their respective berths in the nursing home, before, that is, speedily reattaching the oxygen mask and HGH drip.

LOL. I also like the idea of coming back in twenty or thirty years from our nursing home beds with a declaration of "I told you so!"
Scene: The USMS Nursing Home

geochuck: "Did you see that on the TV? See, I told you she was clean. They tested her blood samples using that new Robo-Nuke-6000-Electron-Imager. I told you so! I told you so!"
aquageek: "He's just in a good mood because he broke all of those 160+ age group records last week."
scyfreestyler: "Isn't it funny, back then we thought 41 was old. We sure had to eat crow when SwimStud broke Phelps's 200 Fly WR at age 60."
SwimStud: "Yes, the ladies flocked to me after that one."
Fortress: "That's nothing. I could have whipped him if I hadn't broken my toe for the 74th time."
TheGoodSmith: "The Robo-Nuke-6000-Electron-Imager still doesn't prove that she's clean. Those BALCO guys anticipated its invention and worked around it."
geochuck: "The Mexicans don't believe in the Robo-Nuke-6000-Electron-Imager. They're the ones who proved the value of two margaritas before a race."
ande: "I just got an e-mail about that new Speedo suit, the Titanium Corset. Not too pricey at $3,400.00."
Fortress: "My great-great-great-grandkids are swimming against summer league swimmers whose parents bought them the Titanium Corset."
(Clock chimes in background)
scyfreestyler: "Well, you know what time it is..."
SwimStud: "It's noodle time! Let's hit the pool!"
aquageek: :rant3:
When I swam in the Lac Saint Jean marathon race. I saw a swimmer get an injection in his arm. He swam up to the side of the boat, there was a doctor in the boat and he injected the swimmer. The injection was for sea sickness. After the race I asked the doctor what it was he said, cocaine.
Was it legal after all a doctor prescribed it and injected it.
More impotant I would like a truth poll.
1. I do drugs.
2. I do not do drugs.
3. I have used drugs but no longer do drugs.
4. I'll never tell.
What is the definition of drugs?
And what is the meaning of IS?
I'm on half a dozen prescriptions. Am I dirty?
Slightly over half appear convinced Dara has done nothing wrong; add in another chunk that's skeptical but leaning towards thinking she is clean--and so far the wisdom of this admittedly small crowd is skewing about 80 percent favorable.

Plus or minus approximately 12%! Statistics are cool!:doh:
Something like 82.5% of statistics are made up and have no factual basis you know!
That's the great thing about statistics. You put complete BS in print and if you throw in a percentage, people will believe you. I always like to look for sample size and/or error.
I knew there was something I liked about you Chris!:p If I could afford to be a career student, I would study mathematics and statistics. I have a mountain biking friend at the University of Richmond studying biostatistics. What sort of stats courses do you teach?
