    It was his last race ever, so you're right...

    And our cycling team lost from your aussie's....Too bad, but you were way better...

    I want him drug tested. He's a freak!


    I want the pool tested. Seems like every race ends in a new World Record.

I do think that what Jason Kidd says about how different it would be if it was an American team is an interesting thought.....
