16 year old chinese athlete Ye Shiwen, apparently had a dead lock split in her final 100m of the 400im with Lochte and faster then him in the final 50m, if you are unfamiliar swimming this is unheard of, she is either a freakishly talented athlete or she is blood doping, considering the girls age, I'd say she must be doping but even with that said it is not something that you can just prove.

LONDON – She's 16 years old, and for 50 meters on Saturday night, she swam faster than U.S. superstar Ryan Lochte. And now China's Ye Shiwen is at the center of some controversial buzz at the Aquatics Center of these Olympic Games.
Shiwen smashed the world record in the women's 400-meter IM and took gold Saturday night, torching the final 100 meters in the event and coming from behind to beat U.S. 400 IM champion Elizabeth Beisel. Shiwen shaved more than a second off Australian Stephanie Rice's world record in her win, finishing at 4:28.43. But it was her final 100 meters – the freestyle leg of the event – that raised eyebrows. Not only did Shiwen go virtually stroke-for-stroke with Lochte – who had won gold in the men's 400 IM earlier in the night – she beat Lochte in the final 50 meters.
Shiwen went 28.93 in her final 50 and 58.68 in her final 100 of her 400 IM. Lochte went 29.10 in his final 50. And the final 100 meters of the pair? Lochte went 58.65 to Shiwen's 58.68. That was such intriguing fodder that when Lochte was in the mixed zone Sunday morning, he said Shiwen had been a topic of conversation the previous night.

Chinese are known cheaters so this will def will spark controversy.

[Anybodyhome]

China says she is 16... which means she is really 12 or 24 years old and quite possibly a male.

If she cheated, she cheated. But LOL at the jealous white people mad an American or Brit lost. As for the 50 time, everypne said he slowed down during that stretch which is why he didn't break the record. Had he not, this whole story would be moot.

Have you ever swam 400 meters? lol.

Feel free to bump this when they prove she cheated.

Nice post buddy, I just like how you stated that it only happened because Lochte slowed down as he finished the 400im, which tends to happen when you try to sprint a 400im, go check any race longer then 200 meters ever it always happens. the final lap is never the fastest, and this girl goes out and throws down the fastest split ever for a 100 free by a woman on the tale end of a 400im? Not likely, nothing to do with who she beat, it just doesn't make any sense at all.

Exactly.

Anyone who thinks that it is normal for the last leg of a 400IM to be the fastest 100M freestyle split ever knows absolutely nothing about swimming.

This girl was not even supposed to contend and then throws down that split. She very likely cheated....and I bet they catch her at it.

Bully gets a hard on for talking crap on the huddle. It must make his day.

[Brooklyn Bully]

:yawn:

They caught her yet?

Bully, someone should "never go full retard" or did they not teach you that?

Still waiting for them to catch her. Meanwhile the cheating whorebeast won her second gold.

blood doping is the near as hard as hgh to test, so it may be some time before they catch her, it's not as easy as testing for steroids.

but to quote someone who would definitely know better then you: (besides myself that is)

this was said by John Leonard, the executive director of the World Swimming Coaches Association. (think of him like the Roger Goodell of swimming.)

“Any time someone has looked like superwoman in the history of our sport they have later been found guilty of doping”. Ye was more than seven seconds faster in the 400m individual medley than she had been in the equivalent race of the World Championships last year. While Leonard accepted that such improvement was feasible, he described the final 100m as “impossible”. He added: “To swim three other splits at the rate that she did, which was quite ordinary for elite competition, and then unleash a historic anomaly, it is just not right. I have heard commentators saying 'well she is 16, and at that age amazing things happen’. Well yes, but not that amazing, I am sorry.”

I would also say the is a big history of the Chinese cheating in the olympics, like the girls on the gymnastics team in 2008.
