Ryan Lochte in scooter crash yesterday

Info via The Swimmers Circle:

"Florida Gator Marco Loughran was admitted to a hospital this morning after a minor scooter accident that involved Ryan Lochte, the best swimmer in the world at the moment.
Lochte was driving Loughran to practice on Wednesday morning at their home training base in Gainesville when he lost control of his scooter. Loughran was admitted to North Florida Regional Medical Center with “minor internal injuries.” Lochte did some minor damage to his knee, which could be significant as it was knee injuries that plagued his training throughout most of 2010.
More details about the crash, and the conditions of both swimmers, should come out today. Neither injury is serious or life-threatening, but with a program that puts in as much in-season intensity and yardage as the Gators do, even a few days out of the water could cause a premature taper."

Hope they are both OK!!

I'm so thankful that you and Swimmer's Circle can post an article in a mature and PC way. Unlike some other bloggers (who I won't name) who drink their haterade all day long and run their mouths into the ground with false and juvenile information. Y U MAD?

So glad that no one was hurt seriously. We've all seen their dedication and the ability to show up to international meets no matter what shape they're in and still kick ass. :)

I love this blog, btw :)

Thank you so much for your comment. I totally agree with your assessment about their dedication and ability to perform despite obstacles. Ryan is always extremely well prepared it seems.

So glad you read the blog. Wish I had more time to devote to it!
