I hadn't even heard about this, but apparently simmons jannace & stagg represented a paraolympian named Nancy Burpee. She was disqualified on a technicality during the trails, and because of the lawsuit it was discovered that the United States Paralympic swim trials were not held in accordance with the paralympic rules. It is suspected also that the Australian judge had something to do with her disqualification not being on the level.
The good news is that she is going to be able to compete in the World Champions, even though she lost the case and was not put back on the team. Good for her for standing up for what she thought was right! It just goes to show that you should always stand up for what you believe in. Sometimes you might also need a little help, but it's always worth doing.
