Swimming

[Buttelski]

Ok a lot of the naysayers and cynics keep making oblique swimming references as if this is something worng. So lets firm it up. Who is the coach who has a swimming background and why do some think this is a bad thing? Does he have a bad rep or something?

Tim Kerrison

Worked with the Thorpedo a while back.

Was hired by British Swimming,(2005 per a google search) then Shane Sutton recruited him as a performance analyst for Sky (or British cycling, maybe even both).

So come on all the cynics what is wrong with him?

I don't know anything about the coach, but Olympic swimming is a dopefest on par with track and field. No one can be competitive in those disciplines at the top level without drugs.

In 2007, the French sports newspaper L'Équipe claimed that Thorpe showed "abnormal levels" of two banned substances in a doping test.[233][234] Thorpe denied the charges and the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) later confirmed that they had investigated Thorpe in the past, for abnormal levels of testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH), but had dismissed the result.[235][236] FINA dropped its investigation and closed the case.[237]

Nothing's wrong with him. Richie Porte was a Triathlete before becoming a pro cyclist. He has ambitions to compete at RIO 2016 as a triathlete. SKY as a goodwill gesture have hired Kerrisson to help him maintain his swimming abilities. They are also on the hunt for a long distance running coach and will be signing one next year.

The minute you mention Triathlete in here it is going to cause a few comments directed to your posts. Just wait for it.

I am glad you explained it first before the attacks begin.
