5/18/09: i am very upset. i was suspended from swimming for 3 months
after getting caught with a bong. now im back and ready 2 swim but i am
not looking too good right now. i lost the 100M backstroke to aaron
peirsol and i also lost a second race to frederick bousquet in the 100m
free the night after. this is so disappointing.
2/05/09: i was at a party the other night and i thought i could get
away with using a bong. i had a great time with my friends but it was
not worth it. it ruined my career and the uS swim team suspended me for
three months for making such a stupid mistake. i apalogize to my
friends, family, and my fans...
8/08/08: well this is a big day for me. im at beijing but im
gonna miss out on the opening ceremony because im warming up at the
pool. im very excited and we'll see what happens.
6/30/08: well today is my birthday and i am now 23 years old. i am
excited about the olympics in beijing. i want to get gold on all my
events
