When Naperville native Mary DeScenza, Neuqua Valley graduate Melissa Marik and Naperville Central graduate Kelly McNichols finish swimming a race this weekend at the U.S. Olympic Trials, they could be asked for a little something extra.
That's because for the first time, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency will be conducting blood tests for performance enhancing drugs at the swimming trials.
It's probably a good idea. USA Swimming doesn't want to get embarrassed like the Bulgarian weightlifting team. Filthy buggers.
Marik is entered in the 100-meter butterfly and the 200 freestyle. McNichols qualified for five events: the 100 breaststroke, 200 breast, 200 free, 200 individual medley and the 100 free.
DeScenza will race in the 200 backstroke, 200 butterfly, 100 fly, 200 free and the 100 breast.
