USA Swimming confirms stomach bug impacting team at worlds

USA Swimming has confirmed reports that some team members competing in the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore were recovering from acute gastroenteritis, US public broadcaster NPR reported. USA Swimming senior communications director Nikki Warner said in a statement cited by NPR that "those experiencing symptoms" were receiving treatment, without saying which swimmers were affected or how they got sick. The team's medical staff was also "advising the team on further preventative and recovery measures," Warner added. The team is "planning to race and perform to the best of our ability for the rest of the meet," Warner said, according to NPR. Acute gastroenteritis, an inflammation of the stomach and intestines, is usually caused by viruses such as Norovirus or bacteria such as On Saturday, Paris 100 metre butterfly gold medallist Torri Huske did not swim the 100m butterfly "to prioritize her efforts in the 4x100m freestyle relay," USA Swimming said. The relay, which had been favoured to win and was anchored by Huske, came second behind Australia on Sunday evening. Claire Weinstein also pulled out of the 400 metre freestyle. Several US swimmers performed below expectations on Sunday and on Monday morning.

'Our community asked for something big enough for their Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Huskies — and we listened. This launch is all about showing that big dogs deserve big comfort, too.'

Carolyn Hax: Without explanation, sister-in-law no-shows care for dying mom

Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My sister-in-law, Meg, and I have been close from Day 1. We've raised our kids together and supported each other through life's lows and highs.

But when my mother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer, Meg just disappeared. She made herself scarce emotionally and physically. Everything was left to me and my husband.
