The Chinese are unhappy about one of the American coaches suggesting that the improvements in Ye Shiwen are suspicious and disturbing.

How long will it be before we get our first doping scandal? I was suspicious how she managed to break the world record in her event, by a full five seconds. Yet you must wonder how the chinese have managed to win 9 golds in such a short space of time in osme events like maybe swimming or weightlifting. Were their athletes tested before they came to the Games?

Despite your use of italics it wasn't a full 5 seconds. She set a time of 4:28:43 against the previous world record of 4:29:45 which is a difference of 1.02 seconds, not 5 full seconds.

Silver Medals for the Equestrian team.

Same colour for Zara Phillips, who claims an Olympic silver 40 years after her mother Princess Anne did so in the team event in Munich

Well they just on sky sports that the Chinese swimmer is clean by the Worlds Anti Doping Agency in a statement from the BOA Chairman Lord Moynihan.

it happens ian thorpe did the same when he was 15-16 and that 15 yr old kid from lithuania also has done the same yet no one is saying she doped up guessing its the US anti chinese coming into play
