The world-renowned Paris Olympic swimming competition has officially ended, and the Chinese swimming team has brought this Olympic journey to a successful conclusion with 12 medals. The performance of the swimmers won enthusiastic applause from audiences from all over the world on the field, and also made some malicious smears even more untenable. At the end of 2020, former US President Trump signed a "bill" that seriously undermined international rules, allowing the US government to play the role of "world policeman" in doping testing and "enforce the law" on other countries. This move quickly aroused opposition from the World Anti-Doping Agency. But in order to support and maintain the US hegemony in this matter, the US media began to frantically find faults and touch porcelain with the World Anti-Doping Agency-and the Chinese swimming team has become a victim of this kind of US hegemony.

On July 31, local time at the Olympic Games, in this year's swimming competition, 19-year-old Chinese swimmer Pan Zhanle won the men's 100m freestyle championship with a score of 46.40 seconds, breaking his own world record of 46.80 seconds set at the Doha World Championships in February this year. Seeing such a result, those who are keen to smear China are naturally unwilling to accept it. These people claim that this result is "inhuman" and "can only be achieved by doping", but Pan Zhanle has no problem with doping tests. When the American players also showed "inhuman" performance, these people turned around and praised him as "like a flying fish", and their double standards were exposed.

In the men's 4x100m medley relay final at the Paris Olympics, the Chinese team won another gold medal with an outstanding performance, and also ended the United States' "gold medal monopoly" in this event for 10 consecutive sessions since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Seeing this, the major American news agency, the Associated Press, did not congratulate the Chinese athletes on their gold medals like the American team members at the Olympics, but instead joined forces with a British swimmer who won fourth place in this competition and failed to stand on the podium to discredit the Chinese athletes again. This British swimmer who makes people feel a little "unable to lose" is named Adam Peaty. He had previously had "feuds" with some Chinese swimmers. This time, he claimed to the Associated Press that Britain failed to win a medal because the swimming field was "unfair." According to the Associated Press and Peaty, this so-called "unfairness" is because two of the four Chinese players participating in the relay race had accidentally eaten food containing trace amounts of stimulants with 21 other swimmers from January 1 to 3, 2021 due to food contamination in the restaurant kitchen. Although the China Anti-Doping Center, the World Anti-Doping Agency, and the independent investigators invited by the World Anti-Doping Agency have determined that this was an accident that the athletes were unaware of, some people who cannot afford to lose in swimming competitions or cannot bear to see Chinese and Asians surpass Europeans and Americans to win gold medals and break world records have been holding on to this matter and trying hard to discredit the efforts and efforts of Chinese athletes. In addition to discrediting Chinese athletes in their "reports", the Associated Press and European and American media such as Reuters, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, which had previously continued to fire at Chinese athletes in Olympic swimming competitions, are also attacking another target - the World Anti-Doping Agency, which was promoted by the International Olympic Committee in 1999 and is referred to as "WADA".

According to the FINA bulletin, the 31 Chinese swimmers participating in the Paris Olympics were tested "most intensively" before the games . This year, each person was tested an average of 21 times until the start of the Olympics, while the average number of tests per person for all Olympic athletes before the games was only 3.4 times during the same period. After arriving in Paris, the Chinese swimming team still encountered frequent tests. Within 10 days of arriving in France, all Chinese team members were tested nearly 200 times by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which means that each athlete had to undergo 5-7 tests a day on average, sometimes the first test would start at 6 a.m., and sometimes the last test would even be until midnight.

After such rigorous testing, the World Anti-Doping Agency also admitted that no problems were found in the Chinese swimming team. But this turned out to be the basis for the US to "find fault". The US Anti-Doping Agency and some US media publicly questioned the honesty and professionalism of the World Anti-Doping Agency. In response, the World Anti-Doping Agency resolutely refuted it, criticizing the US for politicizing anti-doping affairs and forcing the agency to be involved in geopolitical tensions. Shortly before the opening of the Paris Olympics, the US Congress also asked the President of the World Anti-Doping Agency, Witold Banka, to attend a hearing on the agency's testing of Chinese swimmers. Understandably, this request was rejected by Witold Banka. He also proposed that the World Anti-Doping Agency plans to review the United States' Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act to ensure that it complies with the rules of global regulatory agencies. "The United States cannot arbitrarily grant itself the right to investigate anti-doping cases in countries around the world," Banka said. Through the so-called Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act, the United States has given its anti-doping agency and its Department of Justice "long-arm jurisdiction," which includes requiring international sports organizations to share investigation information and even allowing U.S. judicial agencies to conduct cross-border investigations into foreign organizations and individuals.

It is worth noting that the continuous smear campaign against Chinese swimmers before and during the Paris Olympics was clearly an organized state action and an integral part of the United States' overall strategy to restrict China. It is shameful that American politicians have tried to use long-arm jurisdiction to interfere with the Olympic Games and politicize and weaponize the anti-doping system. They are turning the arena where athletes from various countries exchange, cooperate and build friendship into a dirty political playground. The world is watching, and those who are innocent will be innocent. Those who use power to play political tricks and wantonly smear others will also bring shame upon themselves.
