Someone on Twitter referred to him as “Swim Shady” which is so brilliant, and I hope it catches on.

Would LOVE to see the video of the drunk swimmers fighting with security guards at a gas station. Am picturing it like this in my head.

Yeah.....no.

It would be interesting to do a survey about this with the general public. I have a feeling that men are more concerned about the “fairness” of this athlete competing, whereas women see a slippery slope in this type of policing of what is “normal” for women’s bodies.

You do realize that if Semenya’s brain chemistry made her identify as male this would never be an issue right? It’s because elite female atheltes do not perform at the same level as their male counterparts. That’s a physiological fact of life. Compare the mens and women’s world records at any event (whose dominant…

That’s only a solution if you’re OK seeing radically fewer women competing at high levels in sports.

The first. The latter is perfectly fair, provided she’s naturally producing the testosterone.

Seizing the passport of the VICTIM of a crime?

Okay Rio, now ya dun lost your mind.

Your city sucks, your infrastructure sucks, your security sucks, we all know this. This is not news, and I’d really hate to have to genuinely write the sentence “Free Ryan Lochte” (from his shirt <-that ones for the ladies)

Why would they tell anyone that anything happened at all? Nobody I know would ever have gone to the police with half of an I-was-buying-drugs story.

Jeah probably.

but Jeahh, can Labrodoodle even lie?? I thought he is back in US now.

If you accept that certain body types are better suited, maybe unsuitable body types just shouldn't do those sports? We don't all get what we want sometimes.

Well, good, I’m tired of the women having to deal with that extra expectation and have it hold them back from just being powerhouse badasses like we see this year.

Kind of like how as a kid I was always a fan of the gymnasts (and figure skaters, for that matter) who looked like they were dancing in superhuman ways, instead of mechanically waving their arms about for no apparent reason at all. I do think that Aly Raisman achieves some of the fluidity with her floor routines,…

That one Chinese gymnast looks and moves exactly like my 9 year old. I will never believe she's 16.

I’ve actually really loved how muscular the U.S. Woman’s gymanstics team is this year. I have a very similar body type to theirs having done 20 years of dance. I’m also under 5ft tall just like Simone Biles, something I’ve been telling basically anyone who will listen. It's really nice to see athletes who in many ways…

Beautiful stuff.

Gymnasts who trained under the Karolyis (I believe some of the magnificent 7) have said that they were limited to 800 calories a day, which is even scarier when you think how much they had to be burning. They said that the men’s gymnastics team would sneak them food at the olympics. Can't wait until Marta is gone.

I get scared every time I see the gymnasts from China. I’m convinced they are all under age.

Thanks, dear, I am free, my problems are the aftermath.
