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

I think it would only be fair for Kirk and Jackson to be given spots on the team. If they haven't trained then we go in with at least one prepared swimmer in each event(Jendrick and Torres), and Kirk and Jackson will do the best they can. If it isn't great, its ok, its not their fault. But they deserve a shot.
I have a slightly different view. The USA team deserves the best swimmers available. If Kirk and Jackson are not deemed ready, regardless of their finish at trials, the next best swimmers should swim.
But they have very precise rules for team selection, no matter what I think!
