Well that’s disappointing

Mislawchuk and Paquet in 5th and 8th, 13/14 seconds back of the two leaders after lap 1 of the run. Still a long way to go.

More news today about a member of the Chinese swim team women's 4 x 200 that is competing tomorrow testing positive for an anabolic steroid last year Tang Muhan. She now joins Yang Jungxuan and Zhang Yufei (also competing in the 200 fly) who tested positive for TMZ. They claim it was caused from eating hamburgers. Now 75 percent of the relay has been caught for doping with absolutely no punishment at all. So awful
