From what i have heard, from several credible sources, someone on the us women's team tested positive. As of now only the persons family, roommate, and usa swimming know, but im sure it will begin to leak out. Nothing matters though until we get results of the B test.. which could be a few days or even weeks. Not sure when the test was taken, but probably trials. I will try to post more information when I get it, but if anyone could confirm or post what they know, im sure it would be appreciated
Why would anyone in their right mind cheat if the chance of getting caught was great?
I guess the more immediate desire to win trumps the possibility, more remote in time, that they may get caught and pitchforked. It appears they somehow seem to suppress or deny the consequences of getting caught -- as if it existed in some alternate fantasy world. Odd to me, but not that different than other things, e.g., cheating in school, drinking and driving, etc. Maybe the desire to win/garner fame simply exceeds the desire to do what is right in the moral (not competitive sports) universe? Or perhaps there are just too many bailouts or rationalizations for bad behavior?
Liver failure is just not all that immediate and pressing to 21 year olds, Stud ... They live in the present and suspend reality.
