china's swim sensation

Sixteen year old Miss Ye Shiwen outdoes Ryan Lochte's gold medal performance (second fastest in history), for the equivalent women's 400m individual medley.

"The executive director of the USA Swimming Coaches Association, John Leonard, described Ye’s performance as “unbelievable”, “suspicious” and “disturbing”.

"The one thing I will say is that history in our sport will tell you that every time we see something, and I will put quotation marks around this, 'unbelievable', history shows us that it turns out later on there was doping involved,” Mr Leonard told the Guardian."

China's reply was,“Why can't China have a talented swimmer?"

Ms Ye, who backs up on Tuesday (Wednesday morning, Sydney time) with the final of the 200m individual medley, told reporters "there is no doping” and that the Chinese team has always had a firm anti-doping policy."

Mmm...time will tell.
