    Should gold medal swimmer Linsey whats her name compete in high school meets?
    Sure,she has every right to do it but what are the variables behind her doing it?Does she need to do it for practice and to keep in shape?This gal has been the beneficiarry of government-tax payer funded training centers and free medical bionics,you name it.And what fun is it to beat up on some kid that would be the best at a swim meet but looks like crap compared to Lindsey?I thought these olympic turds involved in all these socialized government funded sports were jet setting to competitions around the world anyway.Isn't she happy competing against her equals?And she is being paid in endorsements so she's a pro.Why not let pro football and basketball players come back with eligibility and play in college ball then?Legally Lindsey can compete but morally it sort of sucks.


    Maybe someday a rich guy that owns a triple crown winning horse that's a gelding who never wants to lose another race should go to all the small tracks in the country that have their derbies where his horse can destroy the field every time.

      I would say yes, but you raise a good point that she's been given training paid for by someone else, therefore she should lose her amateur status. It works the same way in golf.

      Christ, let her coach the team. I'm sure she can offer more to amateur swimmers at her school than the current coach.

              According to the article I read the kids swimming against her think its a massive buzz to have a shot at taking on four time gold medalist. I mean you make some valid points, but in the end those kids can say "I swam against Missy Franklin". Not many people can say that.

              I claim the one guy I played football with that went professional.

                Completely unfair of her to compete, because she trains harder and has more talent than everyone else.
