The press are the only ones who are making the problem. My brother knows the father very well and says that he is a very talented swim coach. The kid is not responsible for anything his father does. I watched the 200 and he set out at a good pace and just kept going. Hayden's stroke seemed like he was in a marathon race. Very slow arm turnover compared to Russell's. I think Colin's hands could have been a little more relaxed. But he won the race, so....

I am sure there will not be a problem. The father is not allowed on the pool deck. I believe that the father worked with Jack Nelson in Florida a few years ago. He is a knowledgeable coach but does have a very colored past. Some say he supplied all the deck beverages for his trainies to drink while working out. The father does have a sordid past but in all the coverage of his case that I have seen, and there has been a lot, no one has ever allege any doping involvement with his swimmers. I think it's a real shame that in Colin's moment in the spotlight the reporters are asking about the sins of the father.
