The U.S. Olympic Team acquitted themselves honorably and we all should be very, very proud of them ... except for four swimmers who tarnished the entire team. I hope the Brazilian authorities deal harshly with them! In addition, they should be banned from competition for at least one year by our governing body. Shame, shame on them.
