Brenton Rickard is the 2008 Olympic silver medalist in the Men's 200 Breaststroke. He picked up a second silver in the Men's 4x100 Medley Relay. A year later, in Rome, Rickard became World Champion and WORLD RECORD holder the 100 Breast posting a 58.58. Brett and Brenton reminisce about swimming fast, competing in the strongest breaststroke era ever, his competitors, coaches and more.  Recently, the International Olympic Committee dropped doping charges against him. Charges stemming from a re-test of samples going back to the 2012 London Olympics. It cost him more than $50,000 to defend his reputation but, according to him, was totally worth it.
