Doping, no chance. History has shown that great socialist states like China would never sanction doping their atheletes, just look at how naturally talented the East Germans were before unification.
(sarcasm off)
My guess is the Chinese Goverment has recently discovered the joys of the Balco style pharmaceutical corporations and intends to use them to the fullest in promoting their peace loving and physically superior society.
But there's no way they'll catch her simply because the Chinese gov't is likely sanctioning her doping and they'll have made sure that the Olympic Committee and that twit Dick Pound have no idea about what new and wonderous drugs she's using to turn her into 4'9" clydesdale.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid and the simple answer is that she's got Barry Bonds as her coach.
...guess we could have said the same for Becker, Ruth, Woods, Jordon and Gretzky when they burst into the scene of their repective sports.
This is like saying we have alien visitors every time we see a light in the sky.
...but I'm not saying she's not doping.
So automatically we assume she's doping...

Men vs. Men.
This is a 16 year old girl, surpassing the fastest male swimmer who's 11 years her senior.
Either she's doping or she's a dude....or both.

We'll let the IOC sort it out.

Exactly... one thing is sure though. If the Chinese have found an undetectable performance enhancer, chances are that most of their athletes are using it.
No, it's a clit!
Well, it looks like a penis.
Innocent till proven guilty.
The IOC has come out in her favour......
IOC comes out in support of swimmer Ye Shiwen
Spokesman Mark Adams said people should “get real,” the Associated Press reported, adding it was “very sad” her performance couldn’t be taken for what it is.
“These are world class athletes competing at the very highest level with records being broken all over the place.”
After the 16-year-old Chinese athlete shaved more than one second off the world mark for the 400 metre individual medley (backstroke, butterfly, breast stroke and freestyle) on Saturday when she stopped the clock in four minutes 28.43 seconds, the executive director of the World Swimming Coaches Association sounded suspicious in calling Ye’s effort “unbelievable.”
“We want to be very careful about calling it doping,” John Leonard, who doubles as executive director of the USA Swimming Coaches Association, said in an interview with the Guardian newspaper at the London Games.
“The one thing I will say is that history in our sport will tell you that every time we see something, and I will put quotation marks around this, ‘unbelievable,’ history shows us that it turns out later on there was doping involved.
“That last 100 metres was reminiscent of some old East German swimmers, for people who have been around a while.”
Ye came on in the second half of Saturday’s race, eclipsing Australian Stephanie Rice’s world record time of 4:29.45 at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Lochte comparisons
Ye’s performance was so impressive it drew comparisons to the weekend performance of American swimmer Ryan Lochte.
The two-time 400 IM world champion clocked 29.10 seconds in his last 50 metres during Saturday’s victory in the men’s race, a time bested by Ye (28.93).
Ryan Atkinson, a biomechanist with Canadian Sport Centre Pacific, cautioned fans in a Globe and Mail story to look at the entirety of both races and each swimmer’s strategy when drawing a comparison.
He pointed out Lochte went out fast, and “definitely slowed down towards the end,” Anderson said.
Ye’s dominance continued Monday when she posted the fastest time in the 200m heats, the event she ruled on home soil at the 2011 world championships in Shanghai.
Ye, who started swimming at age 6, points to hard work when discussing her success.
“I’m very lucky,” she said. “Training is not very hard for me because I’ve been trained since childhood. We have a very good scientific-based training. That’s why we’re so good.”
A senior Chinese anti-doping official hit back at the allegations.
"The Chinese athletes, including the swimmers, have underwent nearly 100 drug tests since they arrived here,” said Jian Zhixue, the official Chinese news agency. “Many were also tested by the international federations and the British anti-doping agency.
“I can tell you that so far there was not a single positive case.”
Between 1990 and 2000, Chinese swimmers failed 40 drug tests.
In June, Li Zhesi, one of Ye’s former teammates, tested positive for the blood-boosting agent EPO.
Liars! Lying Chinese liars! Why must they lie?

Because it's what they do best.
That doesn't look like the body of a cheater - compared Lochte, she looks positively tiny.
It might just be better training or some new technique that China created that will revolutionize the sport once everyone else figures it out.
I'm not discounting doping or some other form of cheating, after all, nobody had a clue about BALCO until years afterwards.
Still, I'm with Zip - innocent until proven guilty.
