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

Stud - where you've gone off the tracks with your assertions is saying she's a dumb, naive 21 year old. In order for her to obtain the level that she's currently at she has probably been at the elite level since at least age 13 and probably in the pool since many years before that. She also went to school on a swimming scholarship, no small feat there. She has known for at least a half decade not to do drugs and yet with all that knowledge she has decided to do so.
The point is she is not dumb nor naive. If all this plays out that she is a doper she has done a very calculated, educated thing strictly for her advantage. The fact that she only tested positive once leads me to believe her program was well run (almost) and designed for both performance and non-detection.
She can't be dumb or naive but I don't think adults her age are necessarily known for their judgment either. I see and hear of many college age adults using phenomenally bad judgment with respect to cheating.
I'm not excusing her or feeling sorry for her; I am glad she got caught and hope she is penalized to the fullest because of the grief she's caused in a myriad of arenas - but I'm not ready to vilify her either.
