Cheating claim follows gold win for China’s Pan Zhanle

[@Aarini_Ashwini-s3x]

The Olympic testing committee (consisting of the US, Australia, the UK, and EU testers) be like, "Let's test this guy 10 times every day around the clock, from 5 am to 2 am the next day. That should disturb his sleep and daily schedule and give our swimmers (US, Australia, the UK, and the EU) an advantage." But no, not only did he beat them all (US, Australia, the UK, and the EU), he also broke his own world record. He is so talented that he is his own most competitive opponent.

[@Halisco_New_Generation]

This one really hurts. The US, Australia, the UK, and EU view themselves as the best at swimming. They would literally do anything to be on top. Including: doping, using all sorts of enhancements, having less strict regulation in testing each other, putting others at a disadvantage, so much effort put in yet still manage to lose to a natural swimmer.
