    Won another event last night and qualified for three races in Beijing!

    --------

    Anyone remeber the story about a woman runner who lost her husband during a marathon.....I can't remember her name now....
    It happened during a race back east.

    I was amazed when I read that she had lifted weights and had a normal
    workout the same day she gave birth to her daughter. Wow. I wish I were
    half that active.

    I was watching "Rome is Burning" a sports show where the host is Jim Rome.
    Wuss and sports underacheiver. He had some ding dong filling in for him and her take on the DT events was there might be something more to her performances.

    Two other dimbulbs that were on the panel suggested-but didn't want to accuse her directly-that a 41 year old woman making the U.S. Oly team was kind of suspect.

    In typical media fashion, they take what has happened to all the other athletes that were caught doping and have to paint everyone with the same brush.

    I highly doubt that anyone would, with today's doping standards, would take the chance to gain and then lose all the attention, just for a medal.

    This gal has a future, family and possibly tons of endorsement money to gain, it don't make sense.

    She has also volunteered to have as many different types of drug testing as they can think of. And take a lie detector test.

    Someone on ESPN Sports Center, earlier today, said that what she does is NOT unusual in a person who swims and works out every day for years - which is what she has done. Also, she started setting records when she was 15, so that is nothing new.

    That's what happens when all those others drug themselves. Everyone else becomes suspect.
