I am starting to catch it. In less than a month I will be setting up camp in front of Sam's tv, with my laptop open to the wide world of internet coverage. It should be awesome, but in the run up something has caught my mind.
Is there any possible way that Dara Torres isn't using some performance enhancing drugs? I feel like she has to be. I even feel her belated diagnosis with asthma was a way to get to take drugs that enhance lung capacity. It just defies reason and nature that after 5 years being retired and having a baby that she would come back in a few short years and swim way the heck faster at 40 than she did half a lifetime ago at 20. I am not saying people at 40 can't be athletic, can't be competitive because I absolutely think they can. They have, lots of them! I am saying the miraculous improvement that she has shown seems too miraculous to be unaided. It just smells sketchy, totally sketchy.

Oh, she's a doper, for sure.
Or maybe just East German.
Anyone check under the hood? It's not 'Daniel' Torres, is it?
HA! Yeah, there is no way she is not doping, just no way. It is a nice story to believe otherwise but totally unfair to the clean athletes. Many of whom are also mom's.
Like the woman throwing the discus for team USA who took 6th place in a national championships 17 days after giving birth to one of her children.
That is just unreal.
Actually, many female athletes are encouraged to have children because they are stronger and have more endurance afterwards. I knew a professional biker who was 22 and resisting the pressure to have a baby for the sake of improving her performance.
She didn't want to have a kid ino order to be a better athlete. She thought that was wrong. Go figure.
Indeed! She should have a child for the right reasons.
Like needing an indentured servant.
I will totally buy that it makes you stronger, but twice as fast at 40 than 20, with less trainging than at 20? It just seems too good to be true. Like the stories that all those skinny bitch starlets only eat fries and cheeseburgers and never work out. Nice fairy tales, but they can't possibly be the unembellished truth.
well, one thing to also consider is that undeniable fact that she is an exceptional physical talent.
The technology of training has also increased dramatically in the past twenty years. If mothering a child could increase her already impressive strength, and if technology is able to assist her in her training, it is possible that she could be training at such an efficient level that she has now overcome her age limitations. she might just be that good.
or maybe she's on the roids.
