No, no it doesn't. Not to mention, China has issues with doping swimmers back in the mid 90's, and already had one 16 year old swimmer expelled this year for doping so the chances of this girl doping is pretty high. Think about this. A 16 year old girl beating the world's top male swimmer in 50m. Yeahhhhh....lol
China's Li Zhesi to miss London Olympics, says official
Which goes back to my thing about sports and doping that I mentioned in the Redskins forum. It's prevalent and it's going to be as long as fame and fortune are rewards for winning. You actually think Usain Bolt is legit?....lol
A article back in 2008 after the Bejing Olympics where they talk about somebody like Phelps doping as compared to Bolt. It breaks down why ALL the swimmers in the 2008 Olympics were breaking records and not just Phelps, and noted that he nearly lost 2 of those races as well. The 100m race last night, Bolt was very slow at the start and still rushed by everybody to blow them away and STILL break a world record. Nobody natural gets off to that slow of a start only to break a WR and demolish the competition.

Another article last year where Victor Conte acknowledges that the Jamaicans were in fact using. (but has no proof)
American Doping Expert Victor Conte Claims Usain Bolt & Other Jamaican Athletes Cheated During 2008 Olympics

“I believe that before the Balco affair, 80 per cent of athletes were using steroids, today that figure stands at about 65 percent,” Conte said in a hard-hitting interview with La Gazetta dello Sport on Thursday.

All 8 finalists in the 2000 Olympics in the 100m were doping.

Conte claims all eight finalists from the Sydney Olympics 100m final in 2000, won by American Maurice Greene ahead of Trinidad’s Ato Boldon and Obadele Thompson of Barbados, were also using banned products.

It's no coincidence the Jamaicans have burst onto the track and field scene, and it's not a big secret either as to their success. They saw what doping it did for the US Track and Field team all those years and followed suit.
In the end, this is why you dope.
