In reply to the discussion: UK Olympic Chair announces 16 year old female swimmer "clean". No doping. History made [View all]xmas74
(29,852 posts)I have a swimmer in the family and this is about the five seconds.
I'm not racist, I'm not sexist but five seconds-yeah, I'd want it investigated. Five seconds is absolutely mind-boggling. Five seconds in the pool would be like cutting 30 seconds off the world record mile time-something that would be investigated.
You want this to be clean and China has a history of not always being on the up-and-up. They've had a history of their swim team doping in the more recent past. (Since 1990 more than 40 have tested positive and that doesn't include the ones the team pulled at the last minute because complaints were being lodged before the meet.) And it's not just swimming-look at women's gymnastics. They don't play by the rules there either. In 2000 records were falsified and an underage competitor was allowed to compete.
It's not that it's a woman. It's that this is China, with a previous history, and it's five seconds.
Bells would go off in anyone's head.
