WADA chief urges drug cheats to withdraw from the Games
WADA president John Fahey urged drug cheats Tuesday to withdraw from their Olympic teams and stay away from the Games, as they will otherwise face the strictest anti-doping program in Olympic history and stand only a small chance of escaping detection. Read TribLive
“I say this in the clearest way possible: If you are a doping athlete and you are planning to compete in London, then you must withdraw from your Olympic team,” Fahey said in a statement, less than three weeks before the opening ceremony. “Even if a doping athlete were to win a medal, he or she would never be able to look at themselves in the mirror and say, ‘Well done, I deserved this.’ ”

Tyler blasts Phelps for being lazy, then says sorry
Yeah I know, I’m late here. Tyler Clary called out Michael Phelps, yesterday, saying he saw a real lack of preparation when he trained with Phelps, and that Phelps ‘has basically been asking to get beat for the longest time.’ Phelps gets upset, other people too while others say Clary is right, then Clary says sorry.
Not really a story to me, until this paragraph out off Barstool Sports.
We talkin bout swim practice. Not a swim game. Not a swim game. We talkin about swim practice.
Just when I thought swimming couldn’t get any gayer, we got this traitor crybaby whining like a bitch.
I love that song ! :-)

Sarah Sjöström has recovered from a week of sickness that limited her training to only 3 training sessions, now only one month out from the Olympics. It seems to be going well, she says she is managing faster times now than before the illness, and her coach says that maybe she needed a bit of rest after all the training and competition beforehand.

Julia Wilkinson’s green bra is ‘a talisman of frightening power’
Quote off The Star. A bit superstitious, yes, into yoga also in order ‘to conquer the swimmer’s inner demons‘.
One example: As a 14-year-old, Wilkinson put great store into the winning properties of purple Gatorade. When she headed to a meet in Victoria, she worried that non-primary-coloured sports drinks may not yet have made their way out west. So she filled an entire suitcase with purple Gatorade.
However, Gatorade is a speculative aid. The green sports bra has proven magical powers.
