Definitely have heard of both points.
Weird things also just happen, case in point the a swimmer in the world championships just went down and was saved by her coach. She was obviously no novice.
That whole event stinks to high hell. Since it's the 2nd time it has happened to the same swimmer, either she (the swimmer) is surrounded by imbeciles or this was a stunt. Her coach appears to be in love with her. Maybe I'm jaded, but that seems staged as hell.
