Hey ladies, anyone has the time to look into finding her fan club's address? Perhaps we could organize to send her some fan mail and encouragement? A hug from the women of TE?

Finally....she has been cleared to compete. My wish is that all goes behind her and society learns something; the cynic in me....well....sigh....

I wish her the emotional strength to match her physical strength.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

This sounds like strange comment...but after such intense international scrutiny and also in South Africa (hope I got her country affiliation right), she's better off basing herself in a totally different country with different competitive sport/coaching support.

She has nothing to be ashamed of.
I don't understand why she should move to another country. Everyone knows who she is, everyone knows she was cleared of cheating (deliberately or accidentally).
If her coach doesn't suit her, sure a new coach might be good. But why leave her home? She did nothing wrong.Last edited by KnottedYet; 07-09-2010 at 02:55 PM.

I don't think she should move to another country either. Competition and training is tough, she's under much scrutiny. She should have the support of family and close friends nearby.

lph, thanks for the nice words! Regardless of what our personal beliefs concerning religion are; I simply can't imagine that people think that "God" punishes people by making them look a certain way or appear as something different. Have you ever noticed that some of the more attractive people in the world are ones that are in some sort of trouble? Appearance has nothing to do with God, but our actions are a definite reflection of who and what "we" are as a person. And out lack of compassion is something that I simply don't understand and never will...
