You should wait with your judgement until after his first swim. Marchand, Fallon and the Japanese guys also didn’t swim so far.

I will go on about it until doping is eradicated.

She is a convicted cheater, unlike the Chinese swimmers. Surprisingly the Australian team welcomed her back with open arms. Really inspiring that she came back faster after she stopped doping … makes you question why she did it in the first place? Obviously she is faster without doping …

Really happy to see Matt King win a gold medal (as a prelim swimmer in the men's 4x100m free). He's from just up the road from where I live.

disclaimer for anyone thinking about clicking this a) its a terrible article and b) actually offers nothing about chinese swimmers being ignored other than a dutch person celebrated with another dutch swimmer, shock horror. 

im still uncertain if orangehair didnt write this drivel himself
