Shirley Babashoff was presented the Coach Bob Ousley Award Thursday evening at the American Swim Coaches Association banquet in Ft. Lauderdale.
Legendary coach Mark Schubert introduced Babashoff, referring to her as “the person who made people think that I could coach swimming.â€
“Shirley, the reason we’re giving you this award is not because of your great swimming accomplishments. It’s because, in the 1970s, you were the first person to stand up to doping,†Schubert said.
Babashoff entered the 1976 Olympics as an American darling after she qualified to swim the 100, 200, 400 and 800 free, as well as the 400 IM, and she posed for the cover of Sports Illustrated.
