Watching & reading the media out of China.
Love the irony & hypocrisy in their rhetoric. If they legit expect their going to get an apology from old mate they've rocks in their heads.

Mack Horton didn't say anything that wasn't true, the butthurt coming out of China is hilarious.

But don't you gave to respect every athlete who has made it to the Olympics? I guess that includes the ones who have been recently banned for doping. (followed by some incomprehensible rant demonstrating exactly the same level of disrespect towards an athlete that just beat the drug cheat clean)

Has Horton been drug tested since his win?

Hope they don't have any world swimming championships in China anytime soon ...

Lol no no no you've got it all wrong!
The Chinese fella had heart disease! The banned substance was "unfortunately" one of many compounds of the (apparently) only drug on the market that was capable of treating him.

The 12th is almost a par three anyway Gunny

I bet the others involved sand and/or water

The other line I loved was that is was added to the list after he started taking it and has since been removed (big deal, you should know what's on the list and stop taking it when it appears)

also there was "It doesn't provide any performance enhancement at all (along with hundreds of other substances which are on the list because they are commonly used as masking agents)

He was banned, therefore he's not clean, that might have been through stupidity, or through maliciousness, but the Chinese need to get over it and accept that he will be rightly tagged as a drug cheat from now on!

also acceptable was "western nations attack all good things from china"

or:
state hero and state media

Yeah pretty much, you either are or are not a drug cheat.

Just ask the essendon lads (who are now planning to sue the AFL directly, as well as taking an appeal to the CAS)

* The paid player, former West Harbour star Tala Moli, being de-registered from suburban rugby for five years.

* Club recruitment manager, Pat Lang, being banned from any on or off field position in suburban rugby for life.

* The club’s application for 2017 only be allowed under strict conditions including each Lindfield team start next season on minus 10 points, the club be placed on a $10,000 bond for the next five years and that NSW Suburban have input into the club’s board.
