[QUOTE="texan, post: 1001720, member: 38206"] [B]Chinese Olympian's world-record swimming performance brings talk of doping. Chinese swimming star Ye Shiwen, 16, smashed the world record in the women's 400 meter individual medley Saturday, with a a final 50 meter split that was faster than that of one of the best U.S. male swimmers, Ryan Lochte, raising suspicions about her speed. Shiwen swam 28.93 seconds in her final 50 meters, and 58.68 seconds in her final 100 meters of the 400 meter individual medley, compared to Lochte's 29.10 seconds in his final 50 meters. In the final 100 meters, Lochte swam 58.65 seconds to Shiwen's 58.68 seconds. Stephanie Rice, who previously held the women's 400 meter individual medley record, called the race "insane," saying, "I mean, I didn't see it, I was way over and behind, so I didn't really see her coming home, but that split coming home was out of control." Shiwen took nearly seven seconds off her time from last year's world championships. And in Monday's 200 meter medley heats, she clocked 2 minutes, 8.90 seconds -- the quickest in the world this year, AFP reports.
