Do you think China’s sixteen-year-old swimmer is doping?


It’s the first Olympic games for China’s Ye Shiwen, and the sixteen-year-old just smashed the world record in the 400 meter individual medley to win the gold.  She managed to shave five seconds off of her best time, and she even swam faster in the final leg of her I.M. than Ryan Lochte did in his.  Rumors of doping began when a commentator asked,  “How many questions will be there…about someone who can suddenly swim much faster than she has ever swum before?”  A spokesman for the Olympic Committee calls the rumors “sad.”

What do you think–doping or sheer talent?
