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

What an enormous letdown for tara kirk...she placed 3rd (2nd actually) by only one one-hundredth of a second. and she won't be going, thanks to hardy, as well as a technicality on selection rules. something needs to be done about the selection process. either speed up the announcing of positive tests, or move back the deadline. with a test for hgh on the horizon, i'm sure this won't be the last time a swimmer loses their ticket to the olympics because of a cheat, unless they figure out a way to address the situation better for 3rdplace swimmers.
