		<description><![CDATA[Firstly dont call me &quot;son&quot; or &quot;boy&quot; you condescending moron..

&quot;she passed the drug test, and you can move on now, boy.&quot; - yeah and several previous world champs (from various countries) have passed the drug tests at the time, to be found to be cheats when technology caught up with them several years later.

I was stating a FACT, the FACT is that China had institutionalised drug cheating in their Olympic teams in previous years. Hence why the rest of the world is so suss when a 16 yr old girl swims faster than the guys..

Flo Jo was considered a world champ, until she was proven to be a drug cheat.

Ben Johnson,considered one of the greatest runners ever, found to be a drug cheat..

&quot;btw you white people’s dirty tricks&quot; - cant even diguise your blatant racism can you..

Not a SINGLE COMMENT I made was derogotory to another race. 

And really I dont care about Michael Phelps, he is an American.. They are also well docuemnted CHEATS (as above)

Andy - &quot;She also only swam 1 split roughly at the same speed as lochte. Sure she may have used an anabolic agent but you can throw that same suspicion on every winner in track and field&quot; - um, the suspicion is raised when a female swimmer swims faster than a man. NEVER been seen before, hence the suspicion is well founded I think. I would also be suspicious of any female TRACK athlete that ran faster than the men.. Pretty reasonable if you ask me..

&quot;Naira says: - hahahhaha westerners like matt r love to get stuck in between yestarday’s news.&quot; - IM sorry how am I stuck in yesterdays news, it was not posted by me.. Which was my whole point, that story is over 60 years old and not relevant at all..

John Leonard, executive director of the World Swimming Coaches Association described Ye&#039;s performances as &quot;disturbing&quot; but the young swimmer dismissed the allegations and Olympic officials insist that she is clean until proven otherwise.

So the head of the World Swmming Coache Assoc. seems to think there is something suss about Ye&#039;s swim, he calls it &quot;disturbing&quot;.. He would be well placed to make that judgement I think.

History may prove us wrong (generally it hasnt, people who are suspected of drug cheating are usually found to be, up to several years later), but if she is just an &quot;incredible athlete&quot;, good luck to her..]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Think about this a minute.  She&#039;s 16.  That means China had the technology to physically enhance a human being via genetic alterations without ANY major side effects in 1996.  Are you kidding me?  No one can do that even today.

She also only swam 1 split roughly at the same speed as lochte.  Sure she may have used an anabolic agent but you can throw that same suspicion on every winner in track and field.  In fact, you&#039;re more likely to be right if you do that.

As for the DQ, yes, they definitely should have been DQ&#039;ed.  They knew it was wrong at first, evidenced by the fact they sneakily tried to tank early on.  Pool play has been around.  In a larger team sport with subs, you could obviously go with lesser players, rest your starters, but the players involved have to play.  It&#039;s always been like that.  It&#039;s not even sport if you try to lose.]]></description>

Interesting that the Sina Weibo survey shows more Chinese netizens support the disqualification but a global audience thinks the strategy is acceptable (although WSJ has much fewer votes).]]></description>

btw you white people&#039;s dirty tricks do not work against world class athlete like Ye Shiwen.

Besides thanking her coach and her country, she also told the world that those &quot;noises&quot; will not affect her performance, and she proved it by winning her second gold.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ridiculous comment, that story was from 1948..

over 60 YEARS ago...

This is BAD SPORTSMANSHIP and basically CHEATING to influence the draw.

If they or their coach didnt understand that, and didnt understand you CANNOT throw a game to influence the draw, they should sack their coach as well..

&quot;Yeah, those honourable, Olympic-spirited Westerners would never throw a match for an easier route to the finals.&quot; - FYI ALLL athletes are expected to uphold the &quot;Olympic Spirit&quot;, not jsut the Western countries..

And yeah, we all know China&#039;s 16 yr old female swimmer is a cheat too.. Swam faster than a fully grown man.. Wont take long to prove that she has had DNA/Gene treatment, the rest of the world ARENT STUPID.. (We all know China has had an institutionalised performance drug/gene program)]]></description>
