Pan Zhanle has not just broken a world record, but he has also cast all skepticism, disbelief, and bad publicity around the doping scandal behind him. You are a true hero for the Chinese swimming team and his country. And the best thing is, you have not been tested positive for banned drugs. Nor are you asthmatic. That is true sportsmanship and Olympic spirit. Kudo to you, man.
