I see that Amy Van Dyken is on the list as a 2008 finalist for being inducted to the Olympic Hall of Fame. Some people don't think she should be considered for such an honor until her Balco testimony is made public. I'm inclined to agree with Gary Hall Jr. on this issue....... www.theraceclub.net/.../viewtopic.php usocpressbox.org/.../f12722d0d10d4064852573fc006225f2 John Smith

  • I can't believe that anyone would actually believe that by spitting in an opponent's lane, a cheater would increase the opponent's chances of failing a urinalysis. I don't really like Gary Hall Jr., but I respect him. Then he has to run his mouth like that. I think it just shows some ignorance on his part. There is no way that a relatively tiny amount of saliva makes it, in sufficient quantity, into Inky's system and is filtered out by her kidneys in time for a post-race drug test.I initially had the same thought but then decided it was a lame attempt at a joke. He says something like, seriously though... Hard to believe he'd actually think a loogey (sp?) in a 50 meter pool full of water would make anyone test positive. I don't like Gary Hall Jr.'s antics very often. He may be really nice in person but he seems like he might be a jerk sometimes...
