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 dont know that I would start attacking Dave at this point... I swam for him years ago, and didnt seem the type. But he has moved on and up since NOVA... but still... each person on this earth has the ability to say NO!!!!
$20 says I know who most people are thinking it is ...
Just because Amanda posed for some risque pictures...she still has standards. ;)
But whoever it is...it's sure to be a big story when it comes out.
And if it's the team's elder, forget about it.
I can't wait to hear her excuse. You know it's coming. Cheats that actually fess up to their cheating are rare indeed.
But the Floyd Landis "defense" doesn't work. Better to say she was a dumb and cocky 21 year old with no judgment and write a book. Hey, come to think of it, that "yeah, I'm really stupid" approach worked for Michael Phelps when he was caught driving drunk.
I should have suspected something when she came out of nowhere as a freestyle sprinter.These swimmers have it drummed into their heads about PEDs and testing.They should know not to take anything without an OK.Also this is not something found in legitament supplements to my knowledge.She cheated!
According to Swimming World Magazine, it is Jessica Hardy. I won't bother re-hashing the details. Here's the link...

If this is true, US swimmers will have an undeniable cloud of suspicion over their heads at the Games.
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!
She takes a ton of supplements(Advocare, etc). Could it be an accident? (remember another Trojan...Kicker) Does it matter? She'll still be banned if the 'B' sample is dirty.
Regardless, what a black eye for swimming and the US.
This will likely make the sports page in any number of papers. Not good at all.
