Pan Zhanle of China breaks own world record to win Olympic gold medal in men’s 100-meter freestyle

Associated Press  

NANTERRE, France — Pan Zhanle of China broke his own world record on the way to winning the men’s 100-meter freestyle Wednesday night, finishing in 46.40 seconds for his country’s first swimming gold medal of the Paris Olympics. I don’t think it influenced my performance.” WADA, the World Anti-Doping Agency, put out a statement on Tuesday in response to food contamination scenarios being used to clear athletes who test positive. “WADA is generally concerned about the number of cases that are being closed without sanction when it is not possible to challenge the contamination theory,” the statement said. “There have been many cases of positive tests that were eventually closed without sanction as no-fault violations, sometimes with unusual methods of contamination.” WADA said it was also concerned about similar cases in the United States.
