  • Is it easier for you to equate a swimsuit with PED use? I don't understand this comment. When did I say that? The idea that swimming "can't" flourish in mainstream media has dissolved! I'll believe that when swimming displaces -- or even comes close to competing with -- NASCAR in my local paper. But whatever popularity swimming DOES have in the US has much more to do with Mr. Phelps than Speedo. (In some other countries, swimming has greater popularity than here, and this happened well before any suit controversies.) The idea that the suits caused swimming to be a mainstream sport is just ludicrous. (Though Ricky Berens' suit malfunction probably did cause a large spike of interest among a certain demographic...)
