Wasn't it a South African? Officials are refusing to use underwater vision which clearly shows several swimmers breaking the rules.

Most of these athletes work their backsides off for years to be at their very best on the day and often something goes wrong and they aren't at their best. I don't think any of them have suggested they weren't beaten fair and square but what's the problem with them giving an honest answer as to why they didn't perform at their best? As time goes on I think they'll be satisfied with what they did but when you are a genuine chance to win and don't get it, the first reaction for a true competitor is to be disappointed. How about WE harden the F up and stop looking to pot everyone we can.
