And people had 4 years to care about it. Yet no one did until two days ago.

No one knew about it until 2 days ago. Pretty hard to discuss an issue that you don’t know exists

USA and GB swimmers seem certain to protest Chinese swimmers in interviews, press conferences and on the podium.

And I assume they’ll boycott the Olympics because of it?

I think people just assumed they were gonna get a standard fast pool, not a cheap shallow one 

Think it would've been limitations of the venue that caused the shallow pool rather than cost saving.

Just because it was discussed in French media doesn't mean it was reported elsewhere.

Strangely enough, I don't think the majority of the world reads 'Sportetsociete' regularly. Is there evidence it was reported in any other countries?

The only person I've seen say they might is ZSC

They will claim compensation (money) once they lose
