What do you think?

Their current medal tally is stacked heavy in Gold, and not much Silver or Bronze...
Is it a case of first find the best, then pump them up to win Gold...?
It smells fishy...

7 second improvement between the worlds and the olympics.

Faster than gold medal winning men.

It all sounds like she is doped until I watched Alicia Coutts come within a dogs dingle of her in the medley.

So is Coutts doped too?

They all are, some are better at hiding it than others [}:)]

Does that infer mean that SUP'er Annabel is doped also?

She might simply be a freak (in a good way)...add hard work & torturous training, good diet etc...

I reckon Talented.

Yes she outsplit Lochte over the final 50, however she was coming from behind and had insentive to swim fast, Lochte had his race in the bag already with 100m to go - for the record he smashed her with every other split in the race. His final 400IM time was 4.05ish, she swam 4.28, no comparision. 4 other guys in the mens 400IM swam faster than her over the last 50... they were back in the pack and were trying to make up places as well though.

She's been training in Australia for the past few years with Ken Wood, head coach of Redcliff Leagues Lawnton Swim Club in QLD. Jess Schippers old coach from when she was dominating. Schipper changed coaches for this preparation and had a great result.... 24th in Heat and didnt make semi's in the 200Fly.

The system is there with swimming, cheaters will get caught.... hopefully. I give benefit of the doubt... for now.

Apparently she was pulled out of school when she was 3 and sent to a sports school because she had big hands. That just wouldn't happen anywhere else.

I also heard an interview with an Aussie girl that trains on the goldy with the Chinese, and when the Aussies have a night off or go out to dinner, the Chinese just keep training.

It's talent, training and conditioning, not doping

Innocent until proven otherwise. Anyway I reckon she is clean
Aussie coach working for China Olympic team on News tonight highlighted a few other guns who have risen to the top in these Olympics. Nobody saying zilch about them.
How's this head coaches salary, 4 times what he was able to earn here in Aus, and on a huge bonus for every gold medal China win. So far there are two. He reckoned we would be stunned to hear what the bonus level was.
