John Leonard should be made to apologise in writing to Ye Shiwen and the Chinese team, verbally on world TV, sent home, sacked and banned from coaching or attending any Olympic event. It must be a punishment that makes it clear that the Olympic spirit must be upheld.
I am whole-heartedly sick and tired of this infantile, vicious reaction to losing. They reacted the same way to the South Africa girl who had to live through accusations about her gender. These are young, vulnerable people who deserve better.
I don't recall any reaction by the Chinese (or anyone else) when Mark Spitz won 7 gold medals, Carl Lewis coming a gnats hair behind Ben Johnson then winning a hat full of golds, Michael Phelps and his gold medal haul. Then there was Flo-Jo died of a heart attack at 36. They were not hunted down and accused of drug taking? We admired them for their outstanding prowess.
