Torres out of 100

Data and Comparative data never lie. To equate what Torres is doing to a male would be for the 40-44 year old Master's WR holder (53.5) in the 100 freestyle, Rich Saeger, (1984 Olympian and Gold medalist) to swim a 49+ 100 meter freestyle. I believe he would confirm-no way. Her first three Olympics she swam relays. She swam individual events in 2000, took 6 years off, had a child, and 2 surgeries in the past 10 months but is the fastest American women ever- you believers are simply "off the reservation" as it is performance enhanced. Her 50 freestyle would equate to Rowdy Gaines coming back and going slightly slower than what Garrett Weber-Gale went- 21.7-21.8 in his 40s. It is absurd. She went 26.6 and then 25.9 leading off a relay in August 2006 and has now dropped 1.7 seconds in approximately 22 months, of which she had the two surgeries. I guess she had a lot of stretching/mashing/amino acids/nutrition then! So, if a male qualified for the trials at 23.4 and then dropped 1.7 seconds to go 21.7 in 22 months, PEDS would be suggested. Ben Wildman-Tobiner had pectoral surgery and with the new LZR swim suit, basically went his same 50 time as the year before when he was the world champion. Gary Hall at 33 could not eaqual his PR! Dara obliterates her PR and people want to believe it is real. The spread in the male to female 50 free WR is 2.7 seconds. In Men's Masters Dara is .1 slower than the AR held by Dave Boatwright. For now....... Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and Darra Torres. WB
