Amy, I apologize if I come off as thinking she is a victim.....not intended that way at all......the only possible way that she could be a victim here is if the test was flawed.....not likely since the B sample was POS as well. And that would have been tested at a separate lab from the first....the only other possibility is the chain of custody........all I really take issue with here is the outright conviction before all the results are in.
My opinion still is.....if you admit to or knowingly cheat....LIFETIME ban. no excuses no recourse.....you're done.
No apology necessary. Again, I think most of this argument is about semantics. And, being a cynic, I think that there are probably more of our swimmers out there using things than we know about. And JH just happened to get caught. I realize not everyone likes to think that but it's hard for me not to these days...
