UK Olympic Chair announces 16 year old female swimmer "clean". No doping. History made

68. I've had a few posters here argue with me about how it's sour grapes.

My family is involved in swimming. A teammate of my child's swims AA times and she's only on the junior level. (Incredible-if puberty doesn't wreck havoc on her, as it sometimes does, I'll pass along her name. She's someone to watch.) A friend's child was at the US Trials.

This isn't sour grapes. No one loves to see records broken more than a swimmer. A new record gives them a goal to work towards. The problem is that we have so many now are creating newer and better juices that aren't detected at this time. Personally, I hope she did it legally-that's an incredibly exciting moment.

The suit ban was wonderful. I remember the day the decision was handed down quite well.

As to her form and turns-my kid watched the race and made a comment about how if she had made a turn like that at a meet she would stand a chance of being DQ'd. All you need is one judge and it's all over. I've watched events where the stroke was cleaner than what she put out yesterday and have watched the kid DQ'd for it.
