The 19-year-old's triumph comes amid increased scrutiny of China's swimming program over fears of doping. Minmin Low gives the details on "Bloomberg: The China Show."

To all the sore losers. Get real, deal with it. Pan is the fastest. Period!

[vincesiy]

That Australian coach is just racist. When western swimmers like Ledecky and Phelps broke their own records they are like "GOAT of swimming" "Pushing the boundaries of swimming" especially when Ledecky broke one of her own record by 2 SECONDS. But when a Chinese swimmer does it, it is suddenly "not humanly possible" lol.

Congrats to Pan and other medalists.

Shame on Paris and Olympics for the harassment of Chinese athletes.

[LL-rmxt]

Basically racism at its best Testing, accusations, all leads to cheapening the win.... such sore losers...

Looks at how the chinese lose, the No 1 table tennis guy who won gold and got his bat broken by the media, then went on to lose the next match. Didn't blame it on the loss of the bat, just said the other guy played well.. That's true sportmanship...

[raideepu]

The entire GOOD WORLD loves China and cheers the Chinese athletes. Congrats Pan Zhanle and China! Thumbs down to jealousy, hypocrisy, racism, sinophobia, xenophobia, prejudice, warmongering and ignorance! Once again, we are proud of China!

[gregwong]

Chinese athletes got tested 7 times a day while the americans were not tested at all and Chinese still won

[kaneidareyue]

Guy was tested so much he could hardly sleep. This is pure racism. He should be treated like all athletes.

[hsfdmsu]

Even after all the underhanded, and un-sportsmanship like behavior, Pan showed them what true greatness is. All the snubs, and hostilities shown by the US and Australian Olympians to Pan makes it that much more sweeter. Show them how China responds Pan Zhan Le!

[brianliew]

The Americans cannot beat this Chinese teenager even with their most powerful doped swimmers. So pathetic. 😢😢😢😢

[fangfend]

Not being able to accept defeat is really disgusting. Losing and then slandering and framing others. The double standards are truly nauseating. Shame on you

[liamporter]

Drug test should be standardized, shouldn't be? Everyone should have the same number of test and same schedule. Why should there be different. Shocking! Why Olympic committee allows this to happen?

[JW-osnb]

Many members of U.S swimming team have either "asthma" or "heart disease", which allows them to dope legally

[samtat]

So sick to see Western athlete can losing and play so drity on Chinese athlete 😡.
If can't accept lose than don't come to the Olympic 🙄.

[duckling]

Australian coach : The water was too wet.

[GraniteInTheFace]

Metro UK came out with an article coping about China's diving team. Lying that their divers don't go home to see their family for 3 years to focus on training. I mean what a load of bull.

[softerhaze]

US is always slandering with lies while china is always rebutting with facts, yet people still choose to grossly cherry pick the information they believe in to support their own views. I’m glad the majority are finally seeing the US for what it is and standing with Chinese athletes. This is disgustingly unfair to them to be tested this many times and the fact they are leading with gold medals is absolutely amazing. I wish the best for all Chinese athletes

[sinocare]

Pan is the fastest swimmer alive, and win the race by a wide margin of 1.08 second in this game, even he is tested multiple times daily. More importantly he doesn’t have asthma, ADHD like his competitors who can legally have steroids in the body. That must be very depressing for many! Imagine you have a hundred meter race with superman.

[monishboro]

China should have just boycott the olympics and create another body with the rest of the world, does not need west run olympics.

[rs]

When someone did the dirty work, and still not win, and then keep whining after all end. Come on it doesn't look too well, you'd better shut up and keep some only remaining dignity😓😓

[takafuku]

And what’s Australian swimmer Shayna Jack doing in Paris after a doping violation in the Tokyo Olympics? Has she completed the same 22 rounds of testing that all Chinese swimmers have received during the Paris Olympics? MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS Brett Hawke!
