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
I agree and don't ... I really do think it sucks that at 21 she pretty much ruined her life, yet she did do it to herself. It's just always sad when someone makes one bad decision and it haunts them for the rest of their lives.
It is completely ridiculous to state this is ONE or A bad decision. It represents a series of bad decisions, possibly including breaking the law. Further, it sets up a series of other significant bad decision down the line. There's no way to gloss this over or explain it away. It's not sad, how can it be sad? This was a calculated move intended to benefit only herself to the peril of both herself and others around her. It could also be a crime, who knows. Sad is when your dog dies not when you break the rules/laws knowingly.
I do concur that while her swimming career is ruined her life isn't over. It will certainly be much different but there's no reason for it to be over. She should definitely suffer all the consequences, which will be significant hopefully.
No one answered Smith's question about any athletes who have gone to China in the past two years. Anyone know?
