    Three possibilities: 1) She is afraid that swimming the 100 will adversely affect both her performance in the relay(s), thus jeopardizing the team's medal chances, and her performance in the 50, jeopardizing her best chance for an individual medal. 2) She is afraid that a nonmedal performance in the 100 will adversely affect her marketability. 3) She knows that she cannot risk using growth hormone during the Olympics and doesn't think she can recover adequately without it.
