Chinese swimming has such a shameful history of doping that any remarkable achievement by one of its athletes is inevitably met with cynicism. In the 1990s more than 40 swimmers tested positive for doping.
In the 1994 world swimming championships, China won an improbable 12 gold medals and later that year seven swimmers tested positive for steroids at the Asian Games. At the following Olympics in Atlanta in 1996, they won just one gold.
Likely the Chinese have simply learned how to beat the doping tests.

In my experience lying, cheating , and stealing are not dishonorable in Asian culture.
But getting caught is.
Her doping will be Chinese government administered.

I think it was the last Winter Olympics that we discussed here in FR, what appeared to be a 12 year old girl gymnast.
I remember analyzing her posture, body language and et cetera's and we all concluded she was under age.

the only reason the balco scandal happened was a sample of the substance was provided to officials. Otherwise, it would still be undetectable.
