SwissVan Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 I have always thought swimming is a pretty dopey sport, the rate at which records tumble seems too high to me.Swimming is very technical and improvements are not only derived from fitness and muscle improvements. Coaching and swimming technique plays a big role as well... Gen 1
Jewbacca Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Swimming is very technical and improvements are not only derived from fitness and muscle improvements. Coaching and swimming technique plays a big role as well...Yeah, this is true. Very true BUT... to get to national level most people have just as good a stroke as each other. It then comes down to marginal gains. Swimming is a game played in hundreths of seconds. The margins at the top are tiny
Knersboy Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Swimming is very technical and improvements are not only derived from fitness and muscle improvements Coaching and swimming technique plays a big role as well...I get that, and am the first to admit that I know very little about competitive swimming. It just always seemed dodgy to me how often records are broken. If it was technique and training, surely there have not been massive strides over the decades? Anyway that stuff he tested positive for looks dodgy as hell, scary what people will risk.
Shebeen Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 "The triple world champion failed to qualify for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics but had said last year he was still hoping to qualify for one more Games." aaaand that's why he took the stuff.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he has asthma! FURTHER EDUCATIONHe studied neuro-linguistic programming coaching at Bennett Stellar University in Sedona, AZ, United States of America. (Facebook profile, 09 Aug 2017) COACHING IN RIOAfter failing to qualify as an athlete for his fifth Olympic Games in 2016, he went on to serve as the Trinidad and Tobago swimming coach at that year's Games in Rio de Janeiro. (swimswam.com, 16 Jul 2016; iol.co.za, 17 Apr 2016) ASTHMAHe has suffered from asthma since childhood and has used swimming as a way of strengthening his lungs. He had a lung test at the 2004 Olympic Games, which revealed the extent that the illness affected his airways. "The worst is I'd already got so used to living with asthma, I didn't even realise how bad it really was. Asthma tends to run in families but it doesn't mean the end of your dreams."

Shebeen Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Roland's statement That could be believable, I don't know enough, butIs he even competitive these days? Couldn't find any recent results on a quick Google search, but the glory days of 2004 Athens are eons ago. This whole thing sounds like an unfortunate footnote
Vetplant Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Roland's statement So if you really want to protect young swimmers, tell us what supplement brand you were using. Long Wheel Base 1

I sometimes find the channel on ladies swimming but have no idea of what their names are and who does well. I watch for other reasons.......... So I also wouldn't know if he is competitive or not.
Twaatie Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 The old supplements i used was the problem excuse. When you compete at the highest level, its your responsibility to make sure everything you use is wada approved.... That goes for supplements and medicines Andrew Steer 1

Same with doctors that just give sick-notes to criminal suspects for their trials.. Name them...Don’t you think that it’s a valid request though? IF a pharmacist is so negligent that they could be contaminating your child’s Dynojets with OxyContin, the public should know, IF. Long Wheel Base, BigDL, Andrew Steer and 1 other 4
