N2 - In this paper we partially prove a conjecture that was raised by Linial, London and Rabinovich in [11]. Let G be a k-regular graph, k ≥ 3, with girth g. We show that every embedding f : G → ℓ2 has distortion Ω(√g). The original conjecture which remains open is that the Euclidean distortion is bounded below by Ω(g). Two proofs are given, one based on semi-definite programming, and the other on Markov Type, a concept that considers random walks on metrics.
