Babaschoff Sterkel and Boglioli Welcome Duplicate Medals Mending 1976 Olympic Stain

When I stepped into the pressroom there were only a few people in the room. At I thought I came at the wrong time or perhaps the wrong room. I glanced around and saw three middle-aged blonde women chatting and goofing around in the back. It was Jill Sterkel, Wendy Boglioli, and Shirley Babashoff, the surviving members of the 1976 Olympic gold medal 400 free relay team.

As I walked closer, I could see that they were comparing feet as if they were still teenagers on pool deck in the 1970’s. For some strange reason, swimmers just hate to wear shoes.

The three were in Omaha to help promote and educate people about their Olympic story. I have been writing about their story for decades. Now, thanks to The Last Gold documentary produced by USA Swimming, the world is learning the truth, once again, about the devastating consequences and the effect performance enhancing drugs can have on sport and the lives of people.
