[quote=Anonymous]Let’s put it out in the open. If this was a 12 year old Japanese or Canadian swimmer, there would be less speculation about doping. Swimming has certainly seen many female teen phenoms that peak early and then fade. Katie Hoff, Amanda beard, among others. Chinese swimmers were getting tested far more often than non Chinese swimmers running up to Paris, not sure if that is still the case.

Even if she was doping to increase her cardiovascular capacity, her opening fly leg was a 27.43, which isn’t possible without technique and lots of it. The 11-12 girls’ 50 fly LCM is 27.91, and the 13-14 girls’ nag is a 26.18. I don’t think doping could enable a 12 year old to swim like this, especially given that it’s IM and not just distance free. Either she is freakishly talented, or she is freakishly talented and on ped’s, but I don’t think there’s any doubt that her talent is prodigious. The enhanced games are trying desperately to get a swimmer to break a world record on ped’s by offering $1 million, and have only managed one swim from a guy wearing a banned polyurethane suit.
