It&amp;#39;s only important to me if a moderator edited it (which they didn&amp;#39;t) because I see that as BS censorship. If there&amp;#39;s a line crossed either close the thread or post a warning or both, but if someone was going in changing posts we have a bigger problem.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Jessica Hardy-Amazing</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/103576?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 03 Aug 2008 08:29:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:9df26789-cf80-4d42-869d-3cc597f99bf6</guid><dc:creator>The Fortress</dc:creator><description>Why change it if it&amp;#39;s just cynical or tongue in cheek though?

I&amp;#39;m glad it&amp;#39;s back... like I said before, that was hilarious.  Thank you for the laugh.


Anyways, this may be a stupid question... but what happens to an athlete during the 2 year ban?  Are they not allowed to practice with a USS team or what goes on?  Are they just not allowed to compete?  If anyone knows, I&amp;#39;d really like to hear about it.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Jessica Hardy-Amazing</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/103854?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 03 Aug 2008 05:17:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:e12b06e9-e17e-4230-a128-88397c32e669</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Happy days are here again the name of the thread is back in place..

I stand by my statement. Were politics or religion discussed? And i would debate that rule....but to purposely change the title of a thread is absolutely WRONG and I for one want to hear the reasoning and who made the call?

Procedures at one lab were so sloppy that none of the results should have been trusted.  And the military proceeded to throw out pilots trained at millions of dollars of taxpayer expense.  Only much later did they say &amp;quot;gee, we made a mistake!&amp;quot;

Why would it still be a 2-year suspension if the test was tainted?

Obviously only a few people around here have ever heard about tainted testing....breaking the chain of custody....those little annoying things that can happen with the amount of testing going on.....would it put her back on the team.....NO......if that is the case it would still be a 2 year suspension. But again......I will wait for the final appeal decision.......

If it turns out it was voluntary......my opinion.....banned for life from competing.........No tolerance is the only way the message will get through to people....&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Jessica Hardy-Amazing</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/101521?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:10:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:226adb2b-c0d3-4492-a7cf-a09258e961c8</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Based on past history and forum knowledge it would need to be a morph of both of those pictures!!!!!&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Jessica Hardy-Amazing</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/101393?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:34:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:82d45b19-a408-472c-814a-58cb63c102f5</guid><dc:creator>Former Member</dc:creator><description>Here, here......unleash &amp;quot;The Beast&amp;quot;.
