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
While the circumstances are different, why doesn't US Swimming name alternates?
I would say the primary reason is they don't really have to. If someone withdraws or is forced to withdraw there are enough people already on the team to fill the spots vacated by the withdrawing athlete. The gymnastics team only has six athletes and I believe the team event requires all six to compete.
