I'm not excited yet. It's still day by day as far as I'm concerned. It does appear as if he has turned a corner though, which is something.

It's something I want to run past Ian and Tracey but Dave would be my recommendation.

It's not a drama and he'll race a few times on the west coast of the US. He'll also do some altitude training in Colorado.

If that's what he and (his coach) Tracey (Menzies) think is the best thing to do then we'll be giving him every opportunity to recover well. I would say another couple of days might make all the difference.

I have absolute confidence in our swim team and in our sport that we are drug free.

I would expect that most of them will be swimming quicker now than they were a month ago because they are close to tapering for the Commonwealth Games trials.
