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
If you got caught would you lie?
Would it be a lie if you did not know you were doing wrong?
Was what she took always illegal?
Would she be lieing if she took this before it was banned?
So many questions have not been answered.
Could she have involked the 5th ammendment when they questioned her???
Should we blame her if she had a dumbo for a lawyer??
Hard to believe you are actually supporting Jones now. It seems you are completely and totally unwilling to ever accept anyone is a doper and, in this case, a convicted felon as a direct result of her doping actions.
You do realize that she has admitted to everything, right, and has asked for a presidential pardon? Or, do you not have TV or newspapers where you live?
