Diana Nyad and the smear campaign

I don't know where to post this, but I haven't seen this addressed anywhere on DU. I'm just so mad I could spit.
You have heard of the criticism of Diana's accomplishment, that she couldn't have possibly done this without cheating. Even before she took one step on the beaches of Key West, the internet was all abuzz about how she MUST have cheated. The source of all this criticism is from The Marathon Swimmers Forum and a young man (surprise, surprise) named Evan Morrison.


His Forum, complete with ego inflating lists of all his swims since kindergarden.

I am not a swimmer, but I have read the posts on his forum, and it's disgusting how he has spread lies that are picked up by lazy media and repeated, and Tweeted all over the world, until she has to come out on Piers Morgan and have a press conference to address their allegations. They just HAD to piss in her lemonade.
She never said "she didn't eat for 7 hours". A lie. Her doctor said she "had difficulty eating for those 7 hours" not that she didn't eat.
Oceanographers have come out and defended Diana saying the gulf stream was in near perfect direction for her. That is how her speed increased, not by cheating. She did not wear a wet suit, but her jellyfish proof suit, which IS allowed. She never touched a boat, no one ever held her, she never left the water. She had 40+ people on her team to attest to this.
Yet, this whiney little jealous weasel and his blog repeats it is "impossible". Well asshole, the women I know have been doing "the impossible" for a long time. The fact that a 25 year man can not do what she did, does not make it impossible. I am just so freaking sick of this shit.
