She&#8217;s been racing since before I was even born, and she made this sport what it is today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the apparent size advantage Max has over her, despite his younger age, Abigail refused to point fingers but added, &#8220;I&#8217;ve always said that our sport needs to test for performance-enhancing drugs. I&#8217;m not accusing anyone of anything, but you&#8217;ve got to wonder about the size of that dude&#8217;s hands. I don&#8217;t know. It just seems odd. Look at my hand and then look at his. I&#8217;m just saying. I like Max. He&#8217;s a good kid and he&#8217;s gonna help push this sport to a new audience one day. He might be clean&#8230; but in any case someone should really check his diaper.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you tuned in early for the Baby Crawl by the Bay races, you witnessed Abigail&#8217;s complete dominance of the 5 meter freestyle belly, a race she won by two lengths.
