A little mea cupla from me and the Daily Swim Report. When I post links to stories about swimming I try to use trusted news organizations and allow the reader to make up his or her own opinions on the story. Sometimes these news organizations may stretch the truth or fudge the facts. As one really bad former US President once said "One man's tabloid is another man's bible"* or something like that. As always use your judgement and form your own opinions when reading any news source. From time to time when someone notifies me of a particular news story that may or may not be true I will either pull the item or update it with current info. Today was one of those days. And with that...
