Rather disturbed to see how the media ran with the 16 year old Chinese swimmer who is shaving seconds off her personal best to date. Her tests are back, not in a month's time, but according to the BBC, back now and negative.

The story emanates, it would seem, from a coach who doesn't understand how anybody other than an American can get gold at swimming.

I noted that the "Thorpedo" said in an interview that when he was 16, he too was improving at that rate.

Perhaps an apology to the young Chinese teenager who is having her shine rubbed dull by a desperate for spoiler stories media and disgruntled team coaches?
