It's possible he does. During one of his matches his goggles filled up with water and he couldn't see and he still BEAT THE WORLD RECORD! BLIND! Obviously he's going to start fighting crime in an Orange Shirt and Green Pants. Get this man a trident for he is the King of Atlantis. The next headline with his name in it will be about how he's joining the justice league.
Dude, i saw that. That was amazing. He was so pissed about that water in his goggles. He goes, "I could have gone faster", hahaha. It's so funny because at this point he's breaking his own 3rd and 4th consecutive records on some shit. You have to go back 12 months to find a record in an event he swims BY SOMEONE ELSE. He's a prodigy.
I'd like to state for the record that 4 years ago I said he'd be the Michael Jordan of swimming as long as he kept up what he as doing b/c he was only 19. See, SEE!

He's going to fight for the gold!!!
Yeah, I know that this to the people in US is nothing, with the one million and half medals you already have in this competition, but for us is amazing!!
Tell me watching that match was not like watching gay porn. All that grunting and panting--JESUS. But yes I was rooting for Nadal, too, though for a moment there he was making it easy for Djokovic, but I'm glad he was able to pull through. I'm looking forward to the ALL Latin final match on Sunday.
You ladies are funny. Nadal's a machine. And he's on a real high after Wimbledon. It'd be cool to see him win the Gold... but another Nadal/Federer matchup would have been so much more exciting

I agree. She looks like an athlete at her peak. Not a doper. I do have to say though, last night during one of the women's heats/final's, I can't remember but there was a female swimmer with arms so beefed up I had flashbacks of the East German women swimmers (who WERE doping) from the Los Angeles and Soel Olympics.
Have you seen her on the cover of time? I'm twenty five, if I ate nothing all day, worked out all night, and ran twenty miles before going to bed I would never look like that and I'm a man!
She probably pumps a lot of protein to build muscle mass, and she might even take creatine, but I doubt either of those two things are considered "performance enhancers". I mean there's two things here, 1. I know two different girls who had a baby and went back below her pre-pregnancy weight in just a few weeks and looks
amazing. Now, they're in their 20's, but it can happen. 2. She was an olympic swimmer BEFORE having a child, she was just retired. So she already had the genetics and preconditioning for it. It just required some really, really balls-to-the-wall, no-quit training. I don't think she's doping.
Actually, I just remembered something - because of this issue, of making this come back, she has actually insisted on undergoing a higher level of Olympic drug testing than required.
