I am not sure we realize how bad this will be for swimming and US swimming.
This will change how everybody looks at the US team from now on. The circumstances do not matter to the casual sports fan - they will only remember "US swimmer caught".
The medal winners will lose a lot of money on endorsements - USA swimming was the "clean" sport, the poster child of how to do it right. Not any more - any advertiser will now look at swimmers differently.
What about US trials - this will change how quickly the testing has to come back and how some 3rd place finisher may train after trials.
US Swimming - they have already screwed this up on 10 different levels. No press conference, 3 weeks after the fact, some web forum starts leaking the story, coaches and swimmers at the Olympic training camp know and they expect to keep this quiet ? Amateurs
Gull I do not drink except when on Vacation. I happen to limit myself to one or two drinks at that time. You should be so good. I guess drunks can't read too well here.
George, I think that Gull was pointing out the faults in your expressions, not implying that you were a souse! Most drunks I know read plenty well, it's just a matter of showing up for work when they're supposed to!
#3 is just a jilted ex USADA executive looking to ruffle some feathers, like Canseco and Mitchell!;) Carl Lewis would never have cheated. Have you ever heard him speak, he definitely doesn't sound like someone who has used steroids! Plus, if you look at Ben Johnson's pictures from the World Championships the year before and then again at his pictures from the Olympics, you'll notice a faily impressive change in physique!
