They did though there were a couple of questions asked back then but tests came up negatively. |

"Chinese swimmers don't compete in international competitions until the year before the Olympics
The dope has worked its magic by then"
A lot of the chinese swimmers train in the USA amongst other countries |

"Re the yanks saying the chinese girl was doped. bad bad "
I really don't get all the bru-ha-ha about this as they all know that all medal winners are dope-tested as a matter of course. This 16y/o has been tested 4 times this year and come through clean as a whistle. It isn't unknown in swimming for drop 5 seconds off a personal best from 14 to 16 years of age. The Americans should know better and this is nothing more than sour grapes. |

They did lol as they did with Thorpe. If someone smashes a few records that have stood a little while or looked unbeatable then questtions will be asked. Even more so when its a 16/17 year old who has never shown signs of breaking them before. |

Cause if we (Americans) Can't swim that fast and break records like that then nobody can as we are the best! so I'm sorry you must be cheating and as a result I will be taking my ball home |

Took the words out of my mouth. Absolutely shocking. Both teams should have been removed from the event  |

Apparently they we're getting coached by Mark Hughes!
At least that's what all the Man Utd fans were saying in the pub last night!!  |

Saw that on the BBC this morning in a news round up of events.. The teams involved will be charged i believe and rightly so. |

Just checked the BBC - the charges are "not using one's best efforts to win a match" and conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport".
So in laymans terms - 'Playing like a twat so you don't get harder opposition in the next round' and 'Making badminton look bad and ruining the chance that kids will give up their playstations/xboxes and take up the sport'.  |

Plus Ian Thorpe himself said that he had dropped 5 seconds in a year between the ages of 15 and 16. American sports stars have been exposed over the last couple of years of being dope cheats just as much as the Chinese have in the past, and every single medal winner is dope tested straight after the event anyway |

"why dont they have compulsory testing like the cycling?
when wiggins won TDF he couldnt do any nter_iews until he'd gone to fill a plastic cup...
"
All the medalists will be tested, and some randoms as well. Waste of time as only an idiot dopes in competition rather than training. It's why people get banned for missing out of competition tests and why some people train in very obscure locations.
As for the Americans, well China are the new Russia and America (amongst others) used to cast similar comments about the old Eastern Block countries. Their hypocrisy seemingly knows no limits and if a cheap political point can be scored then so be it.

I wouldn't like to be in their shoes when they get back home, I would guess they will be punished for bring the country into disrepute |

Yeah that will have come from the coaches, not the players. Kinda feel sorry for them in a way, they were in a no win situation (pardon the pun). If they won the game, they'd most likely never play for their country again.
The coaches should be stripped of their badges by the WBF. |

Thought the interesting thing about the Chinese swimmer was when she said that she's not taken any banned substances.
If there's something new out there, does the anti-doping agency know about everything that can be taken ? |

In every sporting endeavour, there is the urge to perform at a level higher than that ever done before. Every single facet of a sporting discipline has been taken apart, optimised and put back together in the name of progress, whether it be the 'fast suits' hi tech apparel, sports training doctrines, or sports nutrition which has evolved its own ways in 'energy management'. Each time a small (and it is small these days) advance is made, the competition screams fix until the ruling body intervenes and makes that aspect either
standardised or pealed back to a uniform level.
In this day and age the most technically advanced nations have a slight (very very slight) edge to the rest of the world. So much is
manufactured in Asia now that there are no secrets to the Asian continent, but at the same time, you can be sure the chinese mind is evolving yet better ways of doing things and of being.
If it is proved to be a hitherto undetected doping regime, then I hope it is uncovered for the sake of the sport. If it is a 'new way' then I hope equally that it finds its way into the doctrines of the rest of the world so as to improve the sport, for the good of the sport itself.
Time and testing will prove this either way.
