(17,111 posts)or form which are horrible.Her physique has changed, but where does that added speed come from? I doubt that her body has grown in some presribed way that aids her. All athletes hit this growth spurt with different results. Few,if any, have gone FIVE seconds faster.
The pool has not gone through some radical design since the last Olympics. In addition, they banned those swimsuits that aided the swimmer. If the pool was that much of a help, there would be many more records falling by larger times.
The drug tests are always looking for what is known. The dopers are developing methods that will not show up. WADA will catch up and people will be caught. However, the cheats are already moving on to something else.
I will remain suspicious of her times because the Chinese have been caught too many times. I wish I wasn't so jaded, but there have been too many people cheating who swear they are clean. That's too bad. It would be nice to be abe to give her 100% creit.
