That Australian coach is shameful for not accepting an achievement that is not done by a white guy.

[alexk]

Racial discrimination + arrogance and prejudice + double standards + lack of sportsmanship.
This is the Olympics now, it's really shameful

[GameChanger-crhx]

This coach has lost all credibility. If the winner was a white Aussie, by more than one second, then he would be advocating for a national holiday.

[PerAllwin]

Australia’s Chalmers does have an arrogant look about him. I’m glad Pan beat him.

[Trueye-slmr]

Australia and US athletes lack sportsmanship

[parklilys]

If the swimmer from Australia wins the gold, it is humanly possible, when a Chinese swimmer wins the gold, it is not humanly possible. This is a sick man's logic.

[clearheaded]

That Australian coach is a disgrace to the sports. Why?

He coached Cesar Cielo (former World Record holder in the 100 free) who actually served a suspension for doping and yet has the audacity of slandering Pan who's never tested positive despite he get tested a lot more times by any of the Western swimmers.

[happymelon]

What they don't tell you is that the Chinese swimming team was tested a total of 21 times since Jan 1st, while the US team was tested only 4 times and the Australians were tested 6 times in the same period. Talk about double standards. And now when Pan breaks the world record, ppl are still bitching. what a bunch of sore losers.

[daviddai]

if you want everything to be "humanly possible", why do we have world record?

[laniethosea]

Banning Russia, testing Chinese swimmers more, then allowing Isrseli olympians who are also soldiers and now criticisms of Pan .. the white man's hypocrisy😂😂😂

[IgorSilva-mzlm]

The olympics are not the same without Russia, testing China 5 times more the the other countries, in general this olympics are shameful.

[yunjuyishi]

They should seriously investigate those western swimmers whose face turned weirdly purple when finishing. That is typical sign of drug Use.😂

[ciabuster]

its humanely impossible to commit those hideous crimes against Native Americans and Australians

[mlwee]

Oh how sour can grapes be. What a disgrace to Australia and the world!

[zprodigalson]

“Not humanly possible..”. But we all witnessed it before our eyes!!! Sounds like cries of a sore loser.

[roxxychik]

How many times has the Americans and the Australians won the various swimming gold medals this year so far? And not once did they freak out? One Asian person wins and everybody is losing their mind

[jnzhao]

The main reason that Australian Coach gets mad is his men took drugs but lost, he cannot imagine how come the winner can beat them without drugs.
It's just like you are playing PC games, you use cheater but lost in the end, you won't believe the winner is clean. Same story.

[uhu]

Can't find report of Pan's recordbreaking performance on any major US media's websties! Why?!

[philseeto]

they didn't test Lance Armstrong or Michael Phelps or Chalmers enough times because they all had asthmas!!!!

[louistan]

He should disqualify himself as a coach for failing to make his swimmer win.
