NANTERRE, France -- China stunned the U.S. by winning gold in the men's 4x100 medley relay on Sunday, a race the Americans had won at every Olympics other than the boycotted Moscow Games in 1980.The winning team included Qin Haiyang and Sun Jiajun, who were both among the nearly two dozen swimmers who tested positive for a banned substance at the Tokyo Games but were allowed to compete after a Chinese investigation ruled that they consumed food that had been contaminated.
"If you touch and you know you're cheating, you're not winning, right?" Peaty said."As an honorable person, I mean, you should be out of the sport, but we know sport isn't that simple." The 30-year-old Sjöström, competing in her fifth Summer Games, had already won the 100 free -- an event in which she holds the world record but only decided to swim at the urging of her coach.
