Franska Laure Manaudou gavst offisielt fyri einum ári síðani, og hevur síðani fingið barn við Frederick Bousquet, men meldar nú út at hon venur aftur, saman við Bousquet, hjá Brett Hawke í Auburn. Ætlanin er at luttaka á HM í Shanghai, um hon kann koma upp á eitt nøtkandi støði aftur. Les L’Equipe
Og heldur ikki Libby Trickett
Manaudou cannot race in Shanghai, under international anti-doping rules that make the positions of comeback swimmers clear. FINA Rule DC 5.5.2 states: “A competitor who has given notice of retirement to FINA may not resume competing unless he or she notifies FINA in writing at least nine months before he or she expects to return to competition and is available for out-of-competition testing at any time during the period before actual return to competition”.
That nine-month period includes all events which serve as qualification for a FINA event. March trials in France will come too soon. The case echoes that of Libby Trickett in Australia, who will also have to wait until London 2012 to race at world level long-course for her nation on the biggest of occasions once more.

Tað sigur Auburn venjarin Brett Hawke nú:
“Fred and Laure are going to train as part of preparations for the 2012 (Olympic) Games. The aim is to be in the best form possible to achieve success in London.”
