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

Tomorrow morning they'll know her name. By the end of the games and the constant "XXX who replaced the banned Jessica Hardy" comments every time they swim they'll know. Everyone knows who Ben Johnson, and Marion Jones are...if the person in the interview doesn't someone will along the chain. That's by the by anyhow...her loss. It's just a tragedy.
Like FQ said There's also likely to be a background check, where this will likely pop up. If nobodys lose jobs because of photos on my space you can bet your bikini she'll be fighting this every step.
Positive drug tests are not kept in a national repository searched during background checks. Unless she broke a law, and is convicted, no athletic black mark will appear on a background check.
Please be realistic. Yes everyone knows Ben Johnson and Marion Jones. Marion Jones is in prison. She has to answer the "have you ever been convicted" question with a yes. Both were stripped of Olympic medals. Their fame was far greater than Jessica Hardy. If she gets a marketing degree and looks for a job in two years - this will not affect her hiring.
