Rich,
It's an Olympic year and there will most certainly be incredible swims leading up to, during and even after the Games...hopefully they (and others) don't leave their best swims/times in meets this early on.
Now if your asking if I'm skeptical of cheating/drugs because these ladies all had huge drops...can't say as I really know nothing about them right now, but I will say that anyone who thinks that there are and will be no swimmers out there cheating is a BIT naive!
I've said before that sadly all major breakthoughs in sport are and should be scrutinized...especially if there are physiological changes in short periods of times by the athlete(s). I will however say that great swims on relays..at least for me...are far less suspect because so many athletes have shown for generations how that situation can bring out the absolute best.
