Lefty, your correct that not all colleges have testing programs for swimmers like Texas, U of A, Auburn, etc...but to suggest that in this day and age a collegiate swimmer isn't aware of the problems with drugs and possibilities of tainted supplements I find hard to believe....
But that was not really the association I was making...my point is if your an elite swimmer with trials cuts, let along a pro like JH and a shot at making the team then you are rolling the dice if you choose to take anything into your body and not be VERY sure about what it is.
JH was taking a huge amount of over the counter supplements...that in itself is enough for me to say she was pushing the envelope.
We agree then. You did state "NCAA swimmer" earlier, but now that you have clarified... (and) I DO agree that at best JH was sutpid for taking OTC supplements. One might even argue willfully ignorant.
Though GH Jr. was pretty poignant a few months back when he disclosed that he attempted to get supplement guidance from USSwimming and there advice was nothing more than be careful. Considering the consequences USswim should be a little more involved in this. If nothing else it would give one less crack for cheaters to attempt to hide in.
