Nice photo, huh? I love it. It's so sketchy, real, and so not posed.
By the way, I said it first here on the blog, Eric Shanteau is the Lance Armstrong of our sport and what a comeback champion he is after dominating cancer of all opponents. Please note that Eric represented the LIVESTRONG foundation, while Rebecca Soni represented the UN Foundation, and Aaron continues to represents Oceana, which is the largest international organization focused solely on ocean conservation.
Aarron Peirsol is the most underrated Olympian ever. I am losing count as to how many Olympic games he has attended: Three total and working on a fourth.
Here is the Press release.
