>Love Riley. She speaks facts.

One of her record-setting swims -- in high school -- made it onto
nationlal tv. As I was following women's swimming, I'd long known who
she was. When she was interviewed, she simply came across like an
ordinary young woman and spoke about her training and her sport. She
didn't make political comments.

It's just appalling that after the women's gymnastics medical scandal
was revealed, her athletic department and her swimming federation
within the NCAA refused to protect women.

This legislation -- if it gets through the Senate -- shouldn't be
necessary. This shouldn't be political at all.

I admire her. She tried to stand up for herself and wasn't willing to
sweep this crap under the rug. She was unwilling to be a silent victim.
