  We present a calculation of the polarized rho meson cloud in a nucleon using
time-ordered perturbation theory in two different variants advocated in the
literature. We calculate the induced difference between the distributions Delta
d^bar(x) and Delta u^bar(x). We use a recent lattice calculation to motivate an
ansatz for the polarized valence quark distribution of the rho meson. Our
calculations show that the two theoretical approaches give vastly different
results. We conclude that Delta d^bar(x) - Delta u^bar(x) can be of relevant
size with important consequences for the combined fits of polarized
distribution functions.
