There is 1 guy out there not rooting for Dara Torres to win gold in the Beijing [1] Olympics. And that man's name is Itzhak Shasha. Fox Sports [2] is reporting that the West Palm surgeon has heard enough about ex-wife Torres. Nothing new, exes wish each other nothing but worst everyday. How many times have you heard, 'oh, I couldn't possibly hate you more' from a couple of bitter divorcees? This story gets interesting when you combine 1) every single person on Earth is cheering for the 41-year old Torres; 2) Torres thinks everything is cool with Shasha; and 3) Torres lives with and has a child by the guy that was her and Shasha's fertility [3] doctor.
Torres got back into the swim game after 7 years on dry land. She had some records to get back from the whippersnappers (she re-earned the 50m freestyle US crown, will make a run at the 100m record in China next month).
Fox Sports mentioned that the absolutely ripped Torres doesn't think there was really a problem with Shasha. And maybe there isn't. It's possible that he was misquoted or spoke out of frustration from media pestering.
Or he thinks it's really weird that she has a 2-year child with her fertility doctor, David Hoffman. There are not that many jobs that you really shouldn't date your clients, off the dome; psychologist, marriage therapist, lawyer, OB-GYN [4], masseuse, and waxer. The rest of the world is your oyster, ya'll. This is doubly a blow to Shasha in that she got knocked up after moving in with her fertility specialist. 'Was this dude sandbagging?,' would be our first question. It's like when a couple breaks up because the dude has commitment issues and years later he's famous, a world-class dad, and wed to your couples counselor.
Any thoughts on what other service-related professional that probably shouldn't date their clients? Or what kind of sh*t do Lance Armstrong [5] or Brett Favre have to pull to not be the most beloved men in America?
