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
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.
Absolutely this is sad. I AM NOT SAYING THAT SHE IS AN ADDICT, but when a drug addict throws their life away for the momentary high, that's sad. It's still a series of bad decisions every time they use, but it's still sad. The high you get from winning on the world's biggest stage can be almost as great as the euphoric high you get when you shoot up heroin. I can easily see how the desire to feel the high of winning Olympic gold might overcome any rational or logical thought, just like the desire to feel the high of shooting up might overcome the rational thought that it may kill you. Most addicts have the unique ability to rationalize most any abnormal behavior. At a certain point, an addict no longer chooses to use, they just have to. It could be that Ms. Hardy had reached that point.
That being said, she certainly doesn't deserve any second chances or special treatment if in fact she was cheating.
