Reports State Jessica Hardy Doping Test Came Up Positive at Olympic Trials

Thursday July 24, 2008
Reports on the Internet state that US swimmer Jessica Hardy, Olympic qualifier in the 50 freestyle and the 100 breaststroke, had a positive result on both an A and B doping test at the US Olympic Trials. She had a negative on one day, a positive a few days later, then another negative a few days after that.

If true, she is off the team (that is obvious) but no one can be added to the US roster, so others on the roster would/could fill her events. The specific results were positive for the stimulant clenbuterol.
