He just broke two 45-49 records unrested and at altitude (meet in Denver): Clay Britt's 100 IM where he went 54.1 and Jack Groselle's 100 free where he went 47.4.
Now read this post carefully Amy because I do not want there to be ANY confusion (and i can't handle any more beatings this week) as I am saying for FACT that I know he cheats...no rumors, no gossip, no nothing...here's the deal:
- I know for a FACT that after he saw a Seinfeld epsiode where Jerry changes the size on his jeans from a 32 to a 30 he did the same. Let's face it, a stressed out, over the hill telecom exec with high blood pressure a major house remodel and 3 kids needing college scholorships they won't get because of foreign swimmers there's no way his waist is the same size as when he ws in high school...this speaks to his character and willingness to lie/cheat.
- John routinely exceeds the allowable limits set down by the championship committee for motrin and caffeine. The caffeine typically in the form of a starbucks double shot 15 minuted before his race and the motrin about 30 minutes after...and every 4 hours for the rest of the week.
- He is also training with a kids swim team...ostensibly to embarrass his daughter but we also know that rule #101-1 from USMS states clearly that masters swimmers are not allowed to break records if they are not training with a masters team...even if it makes a child unhappy.
- He's a liberal
- He drives an Element
- He got a Longhorn tattoo on his back/shoulder as a 40 year old (thankfully he scuffed it up hitting the bottom of the pool practicing backstroke starts/sdk's)
So as you can see...a cheater...and his records should be erased. Thankfully inspite of all of this he has not taken down his most sought after/cherished record...the holy grail...the 50 free!

This is scandalous...
It is no surprise to see John is being lauded by some of the very same people who have advised me to take steroids!!
OK well, steroids for back spasm...but still...
If any of you have any doubts about my claims about Mr. Smith just go to the LZR thread and see his rantings about the new LZR....the same suit he has been pestering one of the swimmers from texas to let him borrow for masters nationals....he'll do ANYTHING to get that 50 record!
Let's stop calling John a whining cheater. He's just a bit out of sorts because he discovered recently that the tattoo on his back is actually a cow rather than a longhorn. Now, people have been accusing him of swimming for Texas A & M rather than UT. Have a heart everyone!
"I've read the documentation, sat in on Championship Committee meetings at Convention, and personally tested various levels of the two in chemistry combinations and they are NOT of concern. In fact, I believe the majority of committee members are "users" as well as John.
Based on this particular claim, I do not agree that John is a "cheater" since, if that is true, then most of the committee members would be cheaters as well. The other claims, however, well, sorry John, they may hold some validity"
Jim, most of us are hooked on coffee and caffine, and for me naprosyn. It's just John used enough caffine to get ten normal swimmers going.
OK...now he's gone to far.
It's allergy season and his "Wussyness" has a little sniffle, ach, ach.
So...go to the doctor and get the extra powerful inhaler treatment, take a day off work, get a massage....and whine about it all.
Pathetic.
If I see that friggin "Amy Van Dyken" inhaler on the blocks before any of our races I'm going to sit my big fat 240 lb ass down on it and that wil be the end of this BS!
