I think two items need to be considered in the PED culture that seems to be more and more of a constant in athletics today.
1. a lifetime ban for ANYONE testing positive
2. Three swimmers being named to the Olympic team (only two of course would swim) and a fourth being named an alternate. Now of course this item could be avoided being added - IF the trials are held earlier in an olympic year and USA Swimming had competent people running the organization.
Just my two cents worth - now I'm broke.
