U.S. swimmer Hardy reportedly flunks banned substance test

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Swimmer Jessica Hardy's trip to the Beijing Olympics could be in jeopardy after testing positive for a banned substance, according to a person familiar with the test results.

Hardy's "A" sample from the recent U.S. Olympic trials tested positive, the person told The Associated Press on Wednesday night. The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.

The Swimming World magazine Web site first reported the positive doping test.

Mark Schubert, head coach and general manager of the U.S. team, and Dave Salo, Hardy's personal coach at Southern California, did not immediately return phone messages left by the AP.

USA Swimming spokeswoman Jamie Olson declined to comment from the U.S. team's training camp at Palo Alto, Calif.

The Web site nbcolympics.com reported Hardy's backup "B" sample also tested positive.
